Read Time:55 Second
Manchester City have announced the signing of Claudio Echeverri from River Plate.
The attacking midfielder joins City on a four-and-a-half-year contract for a fee of around £12.5m plus add-ons.
The deal will see Echeverri rejoin River Plate on loan for the rest of the calendar year.
The Argentinian transfer window opened on Wednesday and City wasted no time in completing the signing.
The teenager, who turned 18 earlier this month, has already made six senior appearances for the Buenos Aries club, which is managed by former City defender Martin Demichelis, and captained Argentina to the semi-finals of the Under-17 World Cup in November and December last year.
Echeverri follows in the footsteps of 2022 World Cup winner Julian Alvarez, who moved to City from River in 2022 and becomes the latest in a long line of Argentinians to join the Club.
“Everyone at Manchester City is looking forward to welcoming Claudio to the Club and we wish him the best of luck in his remaining time with River,” a statement from the Premier League champions concluded.
