Borussia Dortmund Submit Loan Offer for Claudio Echeverri | Man City Reject Buy Option
Borussia Dortmund have submitted a loan offer for Manchester City’s rising teenage midfielder Claudio Echeverri , including an option to buy. However, Man City are reportedly not willing to include any purchase clause , preferring to retain long-term control of the 19-year-old’s future. Echeverri, who joined City from River Plate in January 2025, has made a handful of senior appearances—including during last season’s FA Cup Final and Club World Cup matches. City’s summer arrivals in midfield, such as Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki, mean opportunities may be limited, prompting discussions of a loan move for developmental reasons. While a loan to Borussia Dortmund offers high-level Bundesliga exposure—a proven development route for City’s academy talents—City are only open to moves without a buy-option , or potentially a loan to Girona to maintain full retention.
