7 games and a hat trick against Brazil U17, the 17-year-old Echeverri is undoubtedly the most dazzling teenager in this U17 World Cup. European giants are paying close attention to Echeverri's future, and many teams, including Barcelona and Manchester City, are eager to get Argentina's new Messi. Obviously, Barcelona is not very competitive in terms of funds because Camp Nou is short of money, at least in the eyes of some fans, this is a fact. However, Barcelona executives are still pretending to be rich.
According to TyC Sport reporter GermĂĄn GarcĂa Grova, Barcelona has a very strong interest in Echeverri and they have even contacted River Plate. Currently, Echeverry's contract has a liquidated damages clause of 25 million euros, but Barcelona is willing to pay a higher transfer fee than 25 million euros to show their sincerity. It goes against common sense. It can be won for 25 million, so why does Barcelona have to pay a higher price? There is no doubt that Barcelona is afraid of competition and they are afraid that they will not be able to grab Echeverri.
In fact, Barcelona's worries are unnecessary, because Echeverry has been a Barcelona fan since he was a child, and he is eager to start a legendary journey at Camp Nou like Messi. On the other hand, Echeverri's agent also urged him to transfer within the contract year, which means that Barcelona can acquire Echeverri by paying liquidated damages. Of course, for River Plate, they do not want Echeverry to leave so early. They plan to renew the contract before letting the player leave the team. It is reported that the liquidated damages will rise to 50 million euros.
Echeverri is indeed excellent. After missing out on Alvarez, Barcelona also regretted it. Now, Barcelona regards Echeverri as its future hope. This idea is worthy of support, but there is really no need to exceed the budget to compete. What is particularly embarrassing is that Barcelona approached River Plate with an offer of over 25 million, and on the other hand they wanted to pay in installments. This has shown that Barcelona's finances have not yet recovered, and they are still strapped for cash. It's okay if you don't pretend, but it makes you feel bad if you pretend.
Compared with Barcelona, ââReal Madrid's interest in Echeverri is decreasing. Previously, Western media reported that Real Madrid was willing to pay 30 million euros. After all the effort, Real Madrid's chief scout Calafate discovered a new treasure - Makalu. Makalu is also a talented midfielder who emerged in the U17 World Cup. Coincidentally, he became famous in the game against Argentina. In this campaign, Makalu almost single-handedly helped Mali defeat Argentina 3-0. He was also hailed as the new Kante.
Although Real Madrid has withdrawn, the competition faced by Barcelona is still very fierce. After all, Manchester City is also interested in Echeverri. De Bruyne has reached his age, Guardiola had to prepare early, and Echeverri became the popular candidate. British media broke the news that even if Echeverri renews his contract, Manchester City will directly pay liquidated damages to grab him, which means an investment of 50 million euros. It is a fact that Barcelona has no money, but it also has a great advantage, because Echeverri has always wanted to play at Camp Nou since he was a child.
