Claudio Echeverri/On Loan at River Plate

[footballmanager]

Is he coming in this summer or we loaning him out

my guess is that he will spend a season at girona but idk, by 2025/26 we might have a new coach

I look at the 2023/24 City season as the 'season of Phil' - kid sorta carried us. In honor of that, and since I agree with a few others here that the easiest comp for CE is Foden, here's a video to ponder. Phil turned 18 a couple months before the 2018/19 City season began and played enough to produce this eye-popping highlight package. CE turned 18 in Jan and what he's doing for River currently might be compared to Phil at 18 - you can see dev from game to game - mentally, physically, technically.

I like the videos of Echeverri and i'm excited to see him play for us.
If he develops anything like Phil, then we've really got something special on our hands.

Chance of making the Argie Copa America squad?

Seems to be playing really well with River and could be a wildcard for them.

Ignore that they went with Carboni and Garnacho as their teenagers.

This run as well. His combination of speed and close control is special.

I just come on here to see the highlights posted to hear the commentators say Echeverrrrrrrrrrrrrri.

Has had 2 matches recently - a league road loss 1-0 and a Copa Libs home win 2-0.

Nothing came off for him in the loss, the tricks and vision led to nowhere.
Looked crisp and enjoyed better individual results from his efforts in the win.

Good family news for CE as his mom is out of hospital and feeling well enough to attend his latest match.

River has a league match Monday then CE is off for int'l duty, should be with the u-23 Olympic squad.

And again be aware of the name Mastantuono, a 16 yo for River - be excited if City ever shows true interest.
