Manchester City may already regret their decision to send Claudio Echeverri on loan to Bayer Leverkusen, following a struggle for minutes and recent comments from sporting director Simon Rolfes.
Echeverri joined Man City in January 2024 from River Plate, but initially rejoined his former club on loan before linking up with his new teammates in January. Despite scoring his maiden goal for Man City at the Club World Cup, the 19-year-old attacking midfielder failed to make a significant impact at the Etihad Stadium.
According to Football Insider, Man City were closing in on Echeverri's signature in 2024, and he officially joined the club later that year. However, his loan move to Bayer Leverkusen has raised questions about the decision to let him go.
Pep Guardiola previously called Echeverri "incredible", highlighting the player's potential and talent.
