From England they assure that the English team is preparing a strategy similar to the one it used with Julián Álvarez to take the jewel.

m not going to renew." The phrase silenced River 's celebrations for a moment on the Madre de Ciudades playing field and had a satellite reach. Those four words from Claudio Echeverri not only had an impact on Núñez. While president Jorge Brito tried to lower the decibels by qualifying the situation with "he said what he didn't mean" and his agent added that "we will analyze the situation and make the best decision for everyone ," an alert went off in European clubs. radar and Manchester City hit a lead with the planning of a strategy that has already given good results with Julián Álvarez .

After the praise of Xavi Hernández to make official the interest of a Barcelona that finally could not advance due to economic limitations and the obligation of having to comply with financial fair play, other clubs such as Real Madrid, PSG, Chelsea and Milan remained expectant. But the Citizens, who do not have wallet problems even if it is the end of the month and time to spend on Christmas gifts, are in the last stage of negotiation to take Echeverri.

The plan is clear, it has no mysteries and it has been polished for a long time as Olé told it at the beginning of December : in permanent contact with the player's agent, the family and River itself, the English club, recent champion of the Champions Trophy and last winner of the Premier League, prepares a purchase offer that will be for a value close to the clause (25M euros) with a key detail.

With the same recipe that they used to add Araña, the transfer will include leaving Diablito on loan in Núñez for a period that has not yet been specified: it could be six months, all of 2024 or until June 2025 so that he can add filming and experience under before to make the leap to European football. And of course, the fact that he is under the command of Martín Demichelis is still an extra point for City.

The coach maintains a good relationship with the celestial part of Manchester due to his good time at the institution , which even dedicated a tweet to him for his recent 43rd birthday. In this way, in case he arrives at City, he will be well protected for Micho, who knows what it's like to go from Argentina to the Old Continent and who knows the corridors of the Etihad Stadium perfectly.

n this way, although in the Monumental offices the objective was to extend the bond and protect it with a higher figure (at this point it has already become something utopian), Echeverri will have the chance to continue playing for the club of his loves for a while. further. And River, at least, will not be left empty-handed in the face of the player's clear stance of not going on a free transfer to honor the investment that the club made since he arrived at the pension at age 11.
