Man City talent Echeverri drops social media clue over Roma move | OneFootball

Manchester City talent Claudio Echeverri has dropped a clue that he could be set to join Roma by leaving a comment on a recent post by current Giallorossi forward Matias Soule.

Roma, who are still looking to bring in multiple attacking reinforcements this window, are closing in on the signing of 19-year-old Argentina talent Echeverri on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City.

The Giallorossi also have Fabio Silva, Nene and Antonio Nusa among their list of potential attacking additions.

Echeverri keen on Roma loan, Man City reluctant to sell

Echeverri, who also has options to join Man City’s sister club Girona on loan, as well as reported opportunities in France, is reportedly keen to join Roma.

He recently dropped a hint by commenting ‘Topp Amigo’ on the latest Instagram post from Roma forward and compatriot Soule, on a series of pictures from Roma’s recent 2-0 pre-season friendly victory over Lens.

According to reports from Calciomercato.com, Man City have presented Echeverri with a plan that involved joining Girona on loan for the 2025-26 season, before hopefully breaking into the first-team picture on a regular basis at the Premier League club for 2026-27.

However, Echeverri would reportedly like to play in either the Champions League or Europa League in 2025-26, which makes Roma an enticing option.

Man City are adamant that they will only let the teenager leave on a straight loan deal for 2025-26, however Roma are reportedly hoping to include some form of option to buy, which could complicate negotiations.
