Manchester City yesterday received a 30 million euro offer for Claudio Echeverri that has been promptly rejected, as manager Pep Guardiola sees the Argentinian youth prospect as an important member of his squad for the upcoming season. The 19-year-old played his first game in the Premier League last season, having arrived from Argentine club River Plate.
Chelsea are reportedly closing in on a move for Swiss goalkeeper Pascal Loretz, one of the most highly regarded young shot-stoppers in Europe. The Blues are looking to add another keeper to their ranks before the end of the summer transfer window.
