Manchester City have completed the signing of 19-year Argentinian Claudio Echeverri from River Plate.
Echeverri's contract runs until June 2028, but he'll continue to play for River until making his move to the Etihad Stadium in January next year.
Despite his young age, Echeverri has already made a mark with six appearances for River Plate.
Echeverri's leadership skills were also evident as he captained Argentina at the Under-17 World Cup, scoring a memorable hat-trick in a 3-0 quarter-final win against Brazil. Despite a semi-final exit on penalties against Germany, he earned the tournament's third top scorer recognition with the bronze ball.
Echeverri boasts 23 appearances for Argentina's under-17s, finding the net 13 times, and has even trained with the senior national team.
Fabrizio Romano has mentioned the details of the deal:
€14.5m net fixed fee to River.
€9m add-ons performance-related.
Add-ons only related to player, NOT club titles.
Staying on loan at River until December 2024.
