As Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi once appeared as exciting new talents, now new gems appear almost every month, and increasingly younger. Now, Claudio Echeverri is the trendy name of the day, well, he is shining with Argentina under 17 in the World Cup.

Claudio Echeverri made the difference in the ninety minutes of play, in the match between the Argentina National Team against Brazil, and scored a hat trick, as Lionel Messi did years ago in the same World Cup of the category and against the same rival, Brazil.  ‘The little Devil’, as he is known in the world of football, shone with his own light.

Both the Spanish and Argentine press have begun to talk about Claudio Echeverri and, for example, Mundo Deportivo weighted The little Devil's goals with those of Lionel Messi, while 'El Tiempo' put him as the heir to Inter Miami's number 10. Now the Argentina National Team advances to the quarterfinals of the U-17 tournament.

Real Madrid wants him:

As reported by TyC Sports some time ago, Real Madrid would have already been interested in the player, and therefore, River Plate would have placed a termination clause of around 25 million on him. Now it is not ruled out to double the clause to ensure a good income in case a European giant wants to buy it.
