Leverkusen, Germany (AP) – Manchester City’s young attack midfielder Claudio Echeveli Bayer Leberkusen<\/span> There are some big shoes to rent and meet.<\/p>\n

Considered one of the brightest young talents in South American football, the 19-year-old Argentina native said he will take part in loans during the season and “earn more first-team experience.” He joined Sevilla defender Roic Bubba in another new signature on Thursday.<\/p>\n

echeverri is expected to take on the role of creative playmaker after Florian Wirtz I left for Liverpool<\/span> In June, with a fee of up to $156 million, a wider range of players from Leverkusen came out following Xabi Alonso’s departure as coach.<\/p>\n

“Soccer fans come to the stadium and see players like Claudio,” sports director Simon Rolfs said. “His creativity gives our game a new and fascinating facet.”<\/p>\n

Echeverri signed the city in January 2024. Did not join the team<\/span> A year after returning to his old Club River Plate for a loan in Argentina.<\/p>\n

He has since played three times for City, including his debut in the FA Cup final, and scored his first goal in the team’s first start. For al-ain<\/span> At the Club World Cup. <\/p>\n

Bad\u00e9 arrives at Leverkusen on a five-year contract with 25 million euros ($29 million) reported by German Kicker Magazine and potential add-ons and reported fees.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Central Defender won the Europa League in Sevilla in 2023 and won the Olympic silver medal in France’s under 23 team last year. He made his national team debut against Germany in the international league in June.<\/p>\n

He is likely to replace Jonathan Tar in Leverkusen’s defense after the German centre-back leaves for Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Leverkusen heads for the first Bundesliga fixture of Saturday’s season against Hoffenheim after winning his first German Cup match in Erik Ten Ten Hag’s first game last week.<\/p>\n
