Claudio Echeverri 'agrees six-year Man City contract'
Seventeen-year-old River Plate starlet Claudio Echeverri has reportedly given the green light to a six-year deal with Manchester City.
The Premier League, European and world champions are understood to have shaken hands with their Argentinian counterparts on a £21.7m deal for Echeverri, who was also on Chelsea and Real Madrid's radar.
Echeverri - who will celebrate his 18th birthday on Tuesday - will remain in his homeland before linking up with Man City in December 2024, and according to Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs are exchanging the paperwork at present.
The journalist adds that Echeverri has agreed a six-year contract at the Etihad Stadium, which will keep him on the books with Pep Guardiola's side until 2030.

Hull 'verbally agree loan deal for Burnley's Manuel Benson'
Hull City have reportedly verbally agreed a loan deal for Burnley attacker Manuel Benson for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign.
The 26-year-old was one of Vincent Kompany's first signings at Turf Moor in the summer of 2022, joining from Belgian Pro League outfit Royal Antwerp for an undisclosed fee on a four-year contract.
Despite not always featuring in the starting XI, Benson helped the Clarets to the Championship title last campaign, scoring 11 goals and providing three assists in 33 second-tier appearances.
Game time has been even harder to come by for the Belgian this term - although an injury sustained in September is partly to blame - with the winger making just four Premier League appearances for the newly-promoted strugglers.

Donny van de Beek joins Eintracht Frankfurt on loan
Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
The Dutchman will spend at least the next six months with the Bundesliga outfit, who are set to pay an undisclosed loan fee while also forking out a large chunk of his pay packet.
Frankfurt are also said to possess the option to sign Van de Beek permanently at the end of the season for €11m (£9.6m), which could rise to €14m (£12.2m) with performance-related add-ons.
Van de Beek's arrival in Germany was hailed by Frankfurt's sporting director Markus Krosche, who told the club's website: "Donny van de Beek fits our game idea perfectly and is an important piece of the puzzle for our team.

Pape Sarr 'agrees new six-year Tottenham deal'
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Sarr has reportedly agreed a new six-year contract with the North London giants.
The Senegal international burst onto the scene with Metz before penning a permanent deal with Spurs in the summer of 2021, although he spent the 2021-22 season back on loan with Les Grenats.
After linking up with his new Lilywhites teammates at Hotspur Way, Sarr struggled to get into Antonio Conte's good books, finding himself behind Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp and Rodrigo Bentancur in the midfield pecking order.
Sarr made just 17 appearances in his first season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - including a mere two Premier League starts - but he has been given a new lease of life under Ange Postecoglou in 2023-24.

Livingston sign Tete Yengi from Ipswich Town on permanent deal
"Tete comes with some great references and done very well from his time spent playing in Finland so I'm pleased to be able to add him to the group," Livingston manager David Martindale told the club's website.
"It's a difficult window to attract players to a club but it has been made even more difficult considering our league position, so it speaks volumes for the player and his attitude that he is embracing the challenge we face as a club.
"I'm really happy that we have managed to bring in a much needed offensive option, albeit I hope that we can add a further player in this area in the window too.
"Ipswich Town have been very helpful and done all they can to help facilitate the transfer. The player comes in with a large sell on for Ipswich Town and a small contingency built in if we can manage to retain our Premiership status next season.
"I want to thank John McIlvogue, John Ward and Dave Black who have all went above and beyond to find the finances for Tete to become a Livingston player in this window."
