Claudio Echeverri is called to be one of the great players of the future as his level at River Plate has not gone unnoticed. Barca is one of the clubs interested in him and they are willing to pay 30 million euros for his transfer.

Playmaker Claudio Echeverri is just 17 years old and is one of the gems of Argentinian football. The River Plate player is in the spotlight after his performances at the Under 17 World Cup.

Several Premier League clubs are interested in him and FC Barcelona, who are already looking for a way to sign him, according to 'Radio La Red'. The Argentinian's contract with River Plate expires in December 2024. As a result, the Catalan side are planning to sign him next summer.

The same media outlet reports that the Catalan giants are willing to pay five million euros to the Argentinian side to lure away the rest of the suitors. They want to pay 30 million euros for his transfer but in instalments.

Both his inner circle and the midfielder would welcome this option as the 17-year-old has expressed his desire to play in the Barcelona colours.

River Plate are aware of the talent they have in their squad and have no doubt that the top teams will come knocking at their door to fight for the playmaker. Teams such as Manchester City, Chelsea and Benfica have also shown interest in him.
