It is reported that both the player himself and Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola are pushing for the transfer. Guardiola sees great potential in Echeverri but is dissatisfied with his limited playing time at Bayer.

Girona intends to take Echeverri on loan and is ready to guarantee him significant minutes on the pitch.

In addition to Girona, Echeverri has also received an offer from his former club River Plate. At this stage, Echeverri has not made a final decision regarding his next career move, but his departure from Bayer this winter appears inevitable.

This season, Echeverri has played just 11 matches for Bayer, providing one assist. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at 18 million euros.
