Claudio Echeverri is the cover of all the news regarding FC Barcelona both in Argentina and Catalonia. Based on the information available from media such as 'TyC Sports', both the player's representative and Barça's recruiters seem to have everything arranged so that the 17-year-old jewel can wear Barça from June 2024. But for this They still need to reach an agreement for the money, which could vary between 25 million euros or a little more.

Even so, Barça fans are delighted with the news of the latent possibility of signing one of the great stars and promises of South American football. His U-17 World Cup in Indonesia was spectacular and brought him many fans around the world and teams like Chelsea, PSG and Manchester City are also looking for him. But Barça was the only one that had the initiative to want to bid for him. And Echeverri has already declared himself a Barça fan because of Messi, so the club has the boy's endorsement to sign him.

But the colors would not be the only reason why he would come to Barça. According to Argentine journalist Germán García Grova for the media 'Más Que Pelotas', Echeverri's family comes from a very humble economic situation, so a sale of the boy to Europe would change everyone's lives for the better. “Claudio and his family are tremendously humble. They know that jumping to Europe means solving all their problems at once,” said the journalist in the Catalan media. So there would be two great reasons for the player's transfer to happen in these weeks.
