Echeverri called a beast by Girona chief

City loanee shines at Leverkusen while Girona sighs

Girona sporting director Quique Carcel praised Manchester City’s Claudio Echeverri as “a beast of a player” after failing to secure his loan. The 19-year-old joined Bayer Leverkusen instead, tempted by Champions League football.

Carcel admitted defeat—proof that even football directors sometimes lose the transfer game 5–0 to an agent.
