El Diablito Echeverri shakes River after lifting the European Cup: “I won’t renew it”

Claudio Echeverri is the promise of River. He is 17 years old and has yet to complete a full first team match. Furthermore, in Santiago del Estero he started for the first time and was replaced in the 26th minute of the second half. On the other occasions he had come off the bench on five occasions and had totaled 94 minutes with the Millonario shirt. However, in the midst of the celebrations after the 2-0 of Rosario Central, he announced that he will not renew his contract and that he will remain at the club for a maximum of one year.

“I won’t sign with River, but I will stay for a year,” he said without hesitation live and live while the fans – and players – were still celebrating on the pitch. The statement represented a novelty as the club took the renewal for granted, including a contractual improvement, to try to ensure that Diablito continued for at least two full seasons before making the leap.

“Many things were discussed, my representative did not answer calls, but they were in permanent contact. I will not renew the contract, but I will stay six months and another year at River,” the player said.
