One Man City star is in negotiations with Serie A side over a summer move. The player was earlier spotted in Italian capital which suggests that a move can very likely end in success.
City are heading for a busy summer window after a tough current season. Pep Guardiola is eyeing some key changes in the squad. He wants to bring in top talents across the world. At the same time, many current players are likely to depart from the Etihad stadium.
Man City star headed to Serie A this summer
The stat in question here is Claudio Echeverri. He is 19 years old Argentine player who plays as attacking midfielder and left winger. City opted to sign him in summer 2024 after being impressed with his performances in Argentina. They paid €14.5 million to River Plate in order to secure the signature of Echeverri.
City then sent Echeverri back on half season loan to River Plate. The 19 year old ended the 2024 season with 4 goals and 7 assists in 42 games. Recently he was recalled from loan but has still not made his debut for City. Now, he is being linked with exit in summer.
According to Corriere via BeSoccer, Echeverri is in negotiation to join Serie A side Lazio. Earlier, the player was spotted in Rome which fueled the rumours. The Argentine is said to join Lazio on a season-long loan as he is not said to get regular minuted under Pep Guardiola anytime soon.
Echeverri is tied to City with a contract running until 2028. Hence, he still has lot of time to leave his mark at the Etihad stadium. But as of now, joining Lazio seems like a better option. This will help him in gaining first-team experience as he can play on regular basis in Serie A.
