When it comes to Echeverri’s future, Manchester City’s stance remains clear and uncompromising. Despite the player’s desire to join Roma, the club has laid out his options: either stay at the club or move to Girona on loan—all other possibilities are firmly off the table.
That said, if Echeverri and his agents have enough resolve, they could try to push back against City’s hardline. Perhaps in this standoff, Roma or other ambitious clubs interested in him might find a way to step in with an open offer.
For now, though, Echeverri has only received City’s "ultimatum": his future lies in two places—Manchester City or Girona. City has made it clear they don’t want him at Roma; the club has other priorities, and at most will let him join Girona, a team within their network. Ongoing signs continue to confirm this position.
Additionally, sources in Argentina note that Roma made a €33 million offer to City (involving a loan with a mandatory buyout clause), which was rejected. This further underscores City’s firm stance. How things unfold next remains uncertain.
