Claudio Echeverri has completed his permanent move to Manchester City more than a year after signing for the English champions before staying at River Plate on loan. Echeverri is a 19-year-old attacking midfielder who will join City\'s squad for the remainder of the season.
City director of football Txiki Begiristain described Echeverri as \"one of the finest talents to emerge from South America in recent years.\"
\"Football has been my life and my dream was to play for one of the best teams in Europe. Today I am closer to that dream,\" Echeverri said.
\"Manchester City are one of the best teams in the world. Not only do they win trophies, they play the game so beautifully.\"
