The intense race for the services of talented Argentine midfielder Claudio Echeverri has taken a new turn and this time it is Atlético de Madrid who have joined the list of suitors. The young River Plate player has been the center of attention since the summer, particularly shining at the U-17 World Cup, where his performances attracted the interest of several prestigious clubs.
Atlético de Madrid in the race to sign Claudio Echeverri
Originally linked with Real Madrid, Echeverri now sees Atlético de Madrid bidding for his signature. The attacking midfielder, who has caught the attention of all of Europe, also has interest from clubs such as Benfica, Juventus, Manchester City, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, according to Football Espana.
Echeverri’s versatility and ability have made him one of the most sought-after players and his contract with River Plate expires in December next year, making him even more attractive to interested clubs. With a release clause of 30 million euros, several teams would explore the possibility of signing him.
Despite the tough competition, Atlético Madrid is now joining the race for this promising Argentine talent. The team led by Diego Simeone is looking for a young and talented player and Echeverri fits the desired profile perfectly. The potential investment of €30 million is significant, but the Red and Whites will need to carefully consider whether they are prepared to make this long-term bet on the midfielder’s future.
