Benfica is in advanced negotiations and very close to finalizing the signing of Claudio Echeverri, a young Argentine midfielder currently belonging to Manchester City. The Portuguese club appears poised to complete another transfer market operation.
Claudio Echeverri is a young player from Argentina, playing as a midfielder. The 18-year-old has been regarded as one of South American football's most promising talents, which explains Benfica's interest in signing him.
Echeverri belongs to Manchester City, the English club that holds his sporting rights. However, the Argentine has no place in the first team of the Citizens and has been away from the club.
In recent seasons, the player has been loaned out consecutively. First, he moved to Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga, and subsequently he was transferred to Girona, a Spanish club that belongs to the City Football Group, the same structure that owns Manchester City.
