Manchester City’s teenage star Claudio Echeverri has completed a season-long loan move to Bayer Leverkusen. The 19-year-old Argentine talent, who joined City from River Plate in 2024, will spend the campaign in Germany under new coach Erik ten Hag. The deal is a straight loan with no option to buy as City look to give the playmaker valuable first-team experience.
