Benfica officially announced the signing of Claudio Echeverri as a new addition to the football team. The young 20-year-old attacking midfielder arrives at the Lisbon club on loan from Manchester City.
The agreement between the two entities also includes a purchase option, meaning that Benfica may keep the player permanently at the end of the loan period, should they wish to do so.
Echeverri, from Argentina, thus joins Benfica's squad of international players, bringing with him the experience gained in English football while playing for Manchester City.
With this operation, Benfica strengthens their midfield with a young player with growth potential, at a time when they are seeking reinforcements to strengthen the squad for the competitions that remain in the season.
