AS Roma are in talks to sign Manchester City star Claudio Echeverri on loan this summer (h/t journalist Gianluca Di Marzio).
The Giallorossi want to continue their summer overhaul as they usher into a new era under manager Gian Piero Gasperini.
An attacking midfielder is among the priorities and Echeverri has emerged as a potential target.
The 19-year-old completed a move from River Plate to the Etihad Stadium in February in a deal that was agreed in January 2024.
He also caught the eye with his splendid free-kick against Al-Ain in the FIFA Club World Cup.
However, it remains uncertain whether Echeverri will enjoy prominent game time at Man City this season. Any decision on his future rests with manager Pep Guardiola.
Meanwhile, Roma are exploring an opportunity to make the Argentine a key player for Gasperini’s project.
However, they want a buy-option in Echeverri’s deal rather than a dry loan.
The Argentine prodigy rose to prominence after his stellar campaign in the U-20 South American Championship. He bagged six goals and three assists to lead Argentina to the runners-up finish.
Echeverri could be enticed to link up with his compatriots Paulo Dybala and Matias Soule at Roma.
He primarily functions as a No.10 but can also play as a left winger.
The Giallorossi are monitoring Shakhtar Donetsk’s Kevin as a potential target to bolster the left flank after losing the transfer battle for Igor Paixao.
Roma have signed Wesley, Neil El Aynaoui, Evan Ferguson and Devis Vazquez in this transfer window.
They are open to selling Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk for €40 million.
