A new defender is being pursued by the Blues.

Claudio Echeverri, a 17-year-old offensive midfielder for River Plate, has surfaced as a possible target. He advanced through the team’s various youth categories before being called up to the senior first squad (Transfermarkt – Echeverri statistics).

Chelsea is preparing an attack on Echeverri

Fabrizio Romano said on X that Chelsea is interested in Echeverri and has already expressed their appreciation for him to River Plate, but they will have fierce competition from two other teams who are equally eager to sign him.

“I understand that Man City and Chelsea have been in touch to inquire about the status of Claudio Echeverri. Barcelona is still interested, but the deal’s structure complicates matters with regard to Financial Fair Play. Release provision: up to €30 million (£25 million) in the last few days of the market.

What a “crazy talent” Echeverri is

Echeverri has contributed an incredible 18 goals and five assists from 22 games for Argentina’s U17 team across all tournaments, demonstrating not only his prolificness in the final third but also his ability to control the game with the ball at his feet.

The Resistencia native’s league-leading pass success rate of 91.1% shows off his ability to remain composed and calm under pressure, which is especially helpful when he’s trying to connect plays with teammates in the attacking half of the field (WhoScored – Echeverri statistics).

Pochettino’s objective, sponsored by Adidas, has already demonstrated what it takes to compete and succeed, having won the Argentinean Championship with River Plate and been voted the top striker for the U17 South American Championship on an individual basis.

Football talent scout Jacek Kulig has called Echeverri a “crazy talent” because of all the excellent traits he possesses at such a young age. Given his abundance of potential, he might be a fantastic addition to Chelsea in the future.
