Echeverri Joins Guardiola's Squad After Brilliant Show In U20 South American Championship
U20 South American Championship: Claudio Echeverri has joined up with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City squad for the first time. The Argentine attacking midfielder signed for the club in January 2024 but remained on loan at River Plate until last month. The 19-year-old arrives in Manchester off the back of a spectacular campaign in the Under-20 South American Championship, where he captained his nation to a runners-up finish.
His six goals in nine appearances made him the second-highest scorer in the tournament, with a double each against Brazil and Uruguay the standout contributions. It was the latest landmark in a glittering youth international career, after captaining Argentina at the 2023 U17 World Cup and scoring five goals including a hat-trick against Brazil.
Despite his tender years, Echeverri comes with experience having represented River Plate’s senior side 48 times. He scored four goals and provided eight assists in that period.
