Claudio Echeverri has become a name that resonates in the world of football thanks to his outstanding performance with the Argentina U-17 national team at the World Cup in Indonesia. The talented Argentine midfielder has attracted the attention of major clubs including Real Madrid. River Plate is aware of the potential of its jewel and plans to secure his future by protecting his contract and improving his termination clause.
River’s plan to protect Claudio Echeverri, Real Madrid’s wish
Currently, Echeverri has a contract with River until the end of 2024 with an initial release clause of 25 million euros, which rises to 30 million in the final days of each transfer market. Although he is a formidable figure, his young age and exceptional performances make him a tempting target for the European giants.
River Plate management intends to act quickly and update Echeverri’s contract upon his return to Argentina. The proposal not only includes a contract extension, but also an upward adjustment of his termination clause. Internally there has been talk of increasing the clause to 50 million euros, a measure aimed at protecting the talented footballer and ensuring his long-term stay at the club.
The vision at River is for Echeverri to play a more prominent role in the first team from next season. Despite making his debut at the age of 17 last June, his participation has been limited so far. Martín Demichelis sees in him, among other things, fundamental potential for the first team and intends to consolidate his presence in the team in the coming years. With growing interest from European clubs, particularly Real Madrid, River Plate is keen to secure the future of its young star.
