Benfica announced the signing of Echeverri, an Argentine midfielder who joins the Portuguese club on loan from Manchester City. The young player is already working under coach Marco Silva in Seixal, indicating that integration into the team began quickly after the deal was made official.
Echeverri, from Argentina, brings with him the experience gained in English football while he was linked to Manchester City. The loan to Benfica represents an opportunity for the player to develop his football in a competitive league such as the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
Marco Silva, who commands the Benfica team, already has the new reinforcement available to join training sessions and, eventually, the team's tactical plans. The loan transfer allows the player to gain competitive rhythm in a reference league in European football.
This reinforcement fits into Benfica's strategy of signing young talents with growth potential, taking advantage of the relationship established with Manchester City to loan players who need playing time.
