So you're telling me they've invested 25 mil into this kid since he got there. I'll say maybe half a mil...that's some turnover if you ask me...plus whatever he contributes on the pitch over the next 12 months. Noone owes the club to the extent of passing on moving to the best club in the world with one of the greatest managers of all time if given an opportunity. Let's keep this real fellas. You guys should be happy for him and wishing him the best, not acting so parochial...Yeah, they will. You know how it goes. He should leave and develop under Pep
I understand European lads don’t get it. But our business model over here is based on selling players to Europe. They can’t sign long contracts until they’re 18. The normal thing is to improve their release clause as much as they can, which is something Echeverri was about to get done up to 50M (earning double the money he gets now I guess). 25M is a low fee considering how much Brazilian clubs are getting for the likes of Vinicius, Endrick, etc. River plate wanted to at least get 50M release clause which I’m sure someone was going to pay, but even if they don’t, they could’ve got a good deal like the one they did with Enzo Fernandez, saving a percentage of him for a future sale (which happened to be a great one from Benfica to Chelsea).
sources in Argentina say he didn’t wanted to renew and wanted to go to the U17 WC, as he knew he was going to draw attention from European clubs. After that, he stated after his first game as a starter that he doesn’t want to renew.
So in this case clearly he benefited from the Club that raised him and gave him a better life, without letting the club get a better income than the one he has. I don’t know what’s behind all of this, but I believe this kid is really badly advised by his agent and the onea around him. Which is sad and is going to cause him troubles in the future.
The fans obviously see this as a betrayal towards the club he was supposed to be a fan of. And the club that gave him home, education and professionalism. He deliverately prevented the club of getting a 100% sure better benefit from him.
Yawn...Looks a little small for the PL ;)
ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz...6 month loan to the buying club followed by a 4 year loan to Fulham or a quick sale in his 2nd year ;-)
True. Who was worse than Aguero? Maybe Alvarez? LMFAOOther than Douglas Luiz & Gabriel Jesus we have a terrible track record with South American youth so I’ll reserve judgement.
So they scrubbed him of his origin?Aguero went to us from Atletico Madrid tho
You never see a thing, holy shit man...Love your optimism but I don't see it!? Maybe on the wing he could make an impact but I just see him going out on loan..

Beg to differ....that useless kid we signed under Keegan, did he even get on the pitch? Such a dud, I can't remember his name, or be bothered to look it up ;)I'm excited by this signing purely because he's Argentinian! They don't make duds.

We can’t sign South American players until they’re 18, hence the 12 month loan.irs a formula that worked with Julian
Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign River Plate's Argentina Under-17 midfielder Claudio Echeverri on a six-year contract, with the 17-year-old set to remain with the South American club until December 2024.
Hes 18 tomorrow.We can’t sign South American players until they’re 18, hence the 12 month loan.
