Manchester City may already regret sending Claudio Echeverri on loan to Bayer Leverkusen, following a struggle for playing time and recent comments from sporting director Simon Rolfes.
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. Despite scoring his first goal for the club at the Club World Cup, the 19-year-old attacking midfielder failed to make a significant impact at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola had previously described Echeverri as "incredible".
With Echeverri now on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, Man City may be ruing their decision to let him go, especially given his potential and Guardiola's high praise.
