Benfica managed to secure the Argentine Claudio Echeverri, 20 years old, through a loan from Manchester City. The young attacking midfielder will strengthen the Portuguese club next season.
Echeverri, from Argentina, arrived at Manchester City in 2023, but failed to establish himself at the English club. During his time at City, the player was loaned to other European clubs to gain experience and playing time.
Before signing for Manchester City, the young Argentine played for Bayer Leverkusen and Girona. These experiences in different European leagues were important for his development as a player.
The loan to Benfica represents an opportunity for Echeverri to continue his progression in a competitive league like the Portuguese one, where he may have more opportunities to play regularly.
