If he pushes for a move back to Argentina he can call it a day in Europe.
City should sue if that's the case because no Argentine side will pay the fee we paid for him and we ain't paying him European wages on loan in South America.

Why? He’s 19.If he pushes for a move back to Argentina he can call it a day in Europe.

We didn’t sign Alvarez until he was 22.

Alvarez wasn't good enough for Europe at 19.
Echeverri is and it's why City should push for another European loan.
If he goes back to Argentina it tells me he mentally isn't up to what it takes.
He can play in the PL as an U-21 without impacting on squad numbers. He can not play in Champions League without taking someone elses place on the A-List. But as you say I don't think he is what we currently need in the PL and he hasn't done anything to show why he would be included in our CL squad.Echeverri turns 20 in the early days of January and, as far as I’m aware, we would need to clear a ‘foreign spot’ to accommodate him. Even if we had such a spot, I’m not sure he’s what we currently need, and it would also smack of rewarding someone for having ignored our advice.
Girona would be a good landing spot. They have stabilised in recent weeks, losing and winning games by the odd goal, and going there in January would help both parties.
If his Leverkusen loan is going to be terminated he needs a good Championship side or a European league with a manager who can see a regular space for him.

Still think Girona would be his best bet. His agent hasn't done him any favours, though, as other European/Championship clubs will see that he's been unimpressive in Leverkusen and that he also comes with the distraction of a vocal entourage.He can play in the PL as an U-21 without impacting on squad numbers.

In a way trying to force his way back to River Plate is worse than forcing a move to leverkusen. At least that was ambitious and he was backing himself.
Going back to River is a tantrum. Soured on him a lot with his handling of this, and I don't think many tears will be shed at this point if he goes in the summer.

I agree.
I do think however there is absolutely no chance City pay him European wages to play in South America.
If he pushes for River Plate, that's his career over at City.
City hold the cards with him and I think they will secure him a mid-table Spanish loan.

Equally irritated with City (and a few posters on here) who bombard the official website and supporters forums with carefully doctored videos of ten minute cameos, before disappearing without trace when it transpires that our next signing is more lightweight than Christopher BigginsIn a way trying to force his way back to River Plate is worse than forcing a move to leverkusen.
