Roma Pursue Manchester City's Echeverri in Loan-to-Buy Deal
29 Jul
Summary
- Roma interested in signing Manchester City's 19-year-old midfielder Claudio Echeverri
- Considering offering an initial loan deal with an option to buy
- Echeverri recently played for Manchester City at the FIFA Club World Cup
In recent months, Serie A side Roma have been actively searching for an attacking midfielder to strengthen their squad. Their latest target is Claudio Echeverri, the 19-year-old talent currently on the books of Manchester City.
Echeverri, who joined Manchester City in January, has already made an impression on the European stage, having played for the Citizens at the recently concluded FIFA Club World Cup. Now, Roma are keen to bring the young midfielder to the Italian capital.
According to reports, Roma are considering offering an initial loan deal for Echeverri, with the potential to include an option to buy. This approach may not entirely appeal to Manchester City, who see a promising future for the teenager at the Etihad Stadium.
Nevertheless, Roma are determined to secure Echeverri's services, and they are willing to hand their spare non-EU spot to the player if a deal can be reached on their terms. The Giallorossi are eager to bolster their attacking options and believe Echeverri could be the perfect fit for their midfield.
