Man City starlet to join Bundesliga title challengers on loan

Bundesliga Claudio Echeverri Florian Wirtz Bayer Leverkusen Manchester City
  • Manchester City have agreed to loan midfielder Claudio Echeverri to Bayer Leverkusen for the upcoming season.
  • The 19-year-old Argentinian will join the 2024 Bundesliga champions to help replace Florian Wirtz, who has moved to Liverpool, as part of Erik ten Hag’s new-look team.
  • Leverkusen will not have an option to buy Echeverri, with the player set to return to Manchester City next summer.
  • City originally bought Echeverri from River Plate in January 2024, loaning him back to his previous club before he moved to Manchester in January this year.
  • The loan move comes as Pep Guardiola aims to operate with a smaller squad, despite Echeverri having recently made his debut and scored his first goal for City.
