Manchester City may already regret their decision to send Claudio Echeverri on loan to Bayer Leverkusen.
Echeverri joined Man City in January 2024 from River Plate, but initially rejoined his former club on loan before linking up with his new teammates in January.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder struggled to make an impact at the Etihad Stadium, but did score his first Man City goal at the Club World Cup in June against Al-Ain.
Pep Guardiola had previously described Echeverri as "incredible", highlighting the potential that Man City may have missed out on by sending him out on loan.
Football Insider revealed that Man City were closing in on Echeverri's signature, and he officially joined later in January 2024.
