AS Roma considering a loan transfer for Claudio Echeverri.

AS Roma are said to be looking to sign 19-year-old Manchester City starlet Claudio Echeverri on loan this summer. The club is in talks with Manchester City to get a loan deal for the Argentine midfielder, who made a name for himself with River Plate and impressed during the Club World Cup. Echeverri, who recently joined Manchester City, is thought to be interested in moving to Serie A to get more playing time in the first team.

According to a report from Fichajes, Echeverri has already agreed to the move and is excited about the chance to join AS Roma.

While the negotiations between the clubs are progressing smoothly, the final decision now lies with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who needs to approve the loan for the transfer to go through.

For AS Roma, signing Echeverri fits well with their plan to bring in fresh, young talent to add energy and creativity to their attack.

The club has been searching for players who can bring that spark and Echeverri seems to match that need. His ability to move around the pitch, create chances, and play in different positions could be a big boost for the team.

Gian Piero Gasperini's squad has struggled to find that kind of youthful creativity lately, and Echeverri's arrival could help shift the team towards a more flexible and modern style of play.

His presence could make Roma's attack more unpredictable, especially in games where opponents play deep and try to counter-press.

Waiting for Guardiola’s call

Under Guardiola’s leadership, Manchester City has created a clear system for developing young talent through carefully chosen loan assignments.

With several academy players, including Jahmai Simpson-Pusey and Sverre Nypan, already looking at temporary moves, Echeverri’s situation is being closely examined.

Guardiola tends to be cautious with players he believes have potential for the future.

Whether Echeverri fits into that group will decide the fate of this transfer. If Guardiola gives the go-ahead, Serie A might soon see one of South America’s most promising talents stepping onto European soil, this time wearing the red and yellow of AS Roma.

AS Roma should take a strong interest in Echeverri.

Players like him, full of raw ability, often thrive when they get regular playing time in a tough but supportive environment—something Roma can provide. For Echeverri, this could be a turning point in his career, setting the stage for years to come. And for Roma, it’s a chance to bring in a future star before other clubs start chasing him.
