Claudio Echeverri will spend the 2025-26 season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen from Manchester City to gain Bundesliga and Champions League experience. The 19-year-old signed for Manchester City from River Plate in January 2024 but completed that season in Argentina. He scored two goals and provided three assists in River Plate's 2024 league campaign and also scored in Manchester City's 6-0 Club World Cup win over Al-Ain. Echeverri made three appearances under Pep Guardiola last season and aims to secure regular minutes and continue his development at Leverkusen. The loan follows Amine Adli's permanent move to Bournemouth and comes amid other squad changes including departures and arrivals.
The 19-year-old will spend the 2025-26 season with the Bundesliga club as he prepares for his first taste of Champions League football. Echeverri agreed to join Man City from River Plate in January 2024, but finished the rest of the season with the Argentinian club before making his way over to England. The attacking midfielder scored two goals and registered three assists during River Plate's 2024 league campaign, before also finding the net in Man City's 6-0 win over Al-Ain at the Club World Cup.
I want to get a lot of minutes on the pitch and develop into an even better player week by week. A lot of young players have made it to the top of the game here at Bayer Leverkusen. I want to take that path in the coming season and play my part in helping Bayer 04 achieve great things.
