Ahead of his arrival at Manchester City Claudio Echeverri says goodbye to River Plate | OneFootball

Claudio Echeverri is set to arrive at Manchester City next month. Anticipation is building ahead of the arrival of one of the most exciting young players in the game at the Etihad. Ahead of his arrival at Manchester City, the young Argentinian wonderkid has said a heartfelt goodbye to River Plate. All of a sudden the arrival of Echeverri at Manchester City is only just over a week away. In a disappointing season for Pep Guardiola’s side, his imminent arrival is one moment to get excited for.

In a post on his official Instagram account, Claudio Echeverri said a heartfelt to River Plate. His post said: “I have to say goodbye to the club of my life, one I joined at a very young age with a lot of dreams. River became my second home, the club that formed me as a professional and a person. I want to thank the fans, teammates, staff, leaders, people who work at the club for all these years. Also, my family and friends, none of this would’ve been the same without them. I’m going to miss them, I’m going to continue being a fan wherever I have to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and see you soon.”

The countdown is on ahead of Claudio Echeverri’s arrival at Manchester City.

Even though the 24/25 season has been disappointing for Manchester City there are reasons to get excited. The arrival of Claudio Echeverri is one. There are others but Echeverri’s arrival stands out above all else right now.

Manchester City are bringing in one of the most exciting young talents in world football. Although Echeverri struggled at times for River Plate he did show glimpses of absolute brilliance and genius in his play. Manchester City lack a player who can beat a man with his dribbling and play an incisive through ball outside of Kevin De Bruyne and a few others. Echeverri will add that and more when he finally arrives at the Etihad. Although he will need time to adjust to life under Pep Guardiola he has shown enough to suggest that Manchester City are bringing in a special talent. That in itself is a reason to get excited for what lies ahead this season and beyond.

Claudio Echeverri has said his goodbye to River Plate. Now it’s just a matter of time before he arrives at Manchester City. That is an exciting proposition to ponder and the hope is that we can get glimpses of his undoubted ability when he does finally get on the pitch for Manchester City.
