Manchester City have agreed to loan highly-rated youngster Claudio Echeverri to Bayer Leverkusen for the 2025–26 season, set to work under ex-Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
Echeverri arrived from River Plate in January 2024, loaned back to the Argentinian giants for the remainder of the calendar year. He officially joined Pep Guardiola’s squad at the beginning of 2025 but only made his debut for the club in the FA Cup final, which City lost 1–0 to Crystal Palace.
