Claudio Echeverri has been recently associated with a move to Roma, with speculation growing after he was seen in Rome. Nonetheless, it has been reported that this was merely a coincidence, as the player is actually set to join Girona. Sources indicate that Echeverri is on the verge of finalizing an agreement to join Girona, an affiliate of City, on loan for the 2025-26 season as part of a strategy developed by Pep Guardiola. The purpose of this move is to provide Echeverri with the opportunity to gain experience in top-flight European football, following a similar path to that of his City teammate Savinho. The expectation is that Echeverri will enhance his skills and return ready to compete for a position in the Manchester City first team by the summer of 2026.
