Bayer Leverkusen agree loan deal to sign Echeverri

Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen have agreed a season-long loan deal to sign midfielder Claudio Echeverri from Manchester City.

The Argentine teenager, 19, made three appearances for City last season, including his debut as a substitute in the FA Cup final defeat by Crystal Palace.

He scored his first City goal in the 6-0 thrashing of UAE side Al-Ain at the Club World Cup in June.

City signed Echeverri from River Plate for £12.5m in January 2024, but the player will now continue his development in Germany under ex-Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
