The Argentine player Echeverri is already in Lisbon to complete his transfer to Benfica. The young 20-year-old attacking midfielder arrives on loan from Manchester City, the club that held his sporting rights.
The loan to Benfica is valid until the end of the 2026-27 season, which means the forward will remain at the Luz stadium for at least two full seasons.
Echeverri, from Argentina, is considered a promising talent in South American football and will reinforce the midfield sector of the team coached by Bruno Lage. The operation represents a significant investment by Benfica to strengthen their squad with young international talents.
With this transfer, Benfica manages to secure the services of a player formed in Argentine football, who became part of Manchester City's project before being loaned to the Portuguese team to gain experience and playing time.
