OFFICIAL: Man City confirm 20-year-old Argentine midfielder Echeverri joins Girona on loan
Man City:
Claudio Echeverri has joined Girona on loan for the rest of the 2025/26 season, subject to international clearance.
The Argentine midfielder will now link up with our CFG sister Club after spending the first half of the campaign on loan in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen.
The 20-year-old, who signed for City in January 2024 before remaining on loan at River Plate until February 2025, will join City team-mate Vitor Reis at the Spanish Club.
Echeverri has made three appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side - with his debut coming in our FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace at Wembley in May 2025.
A first goal for the Blues followed in the summer at the FIFA Club World Cup, when he scored a superb free-kick against Al-Ain before he was forced off with an injury at half-time.
He made 11 appearances for Leverkusen – six in the Bundesliga and five in the Champions League, although he remained on the bench for the German side’s visit to the Etihad Stadium.
Echeverri will now look to gain more first-team experience after completing his switch to Girona in La Liga.
Everyone at Manchester City would like to wish Claudio the very best during his time in Spain.
