Sky Germany report that Borussia Dortmund is heavily interested in signing Manchester City talent Claudio Echeverri on loan!
Echeverri, a 19-year-old Argentine playmaker, recently completed his move to Manchester City and attracted considerable attention for a loan move from Serie A giants AS Roma and fellow City Football Group affiliate Girona.

However, Dortmund have emerged as a potential front runner in the race for the youngster: according to Sky, BVB have already submitted an offer to Manchester City!
Niko Kovač’s team would like to include an buy-option in the deal, but it’s not clear whether Man City would agree to that. Echeverri has already shown a lot of promise in three games for the English side and was even able to score a goal.
He broke through in River Plate’s academy and stood out as the biggest star of the U17-World Cup for Argentina: Echeverri scored five goals for his country, but it wasn’t just about those – he showed he is a special talent.
His technical excellence, flair, and confidence under pressure marked him as one of the most exciting young talents of his cohort during the tournament.
While a role in Manchester City’s squad might be too big for him just yet, a move to Borussia Dortmund could be the best next step he could take in his career – just ask Jadon Sancho.
