Messi’s teammate Echeviri’s special mission at U20: The Argentine Football Association is taking a bet on key negotiations!

"Little Devil" holds two positions: both summoned to the adult team by Scaloni, and trained with Placente (the U20 echelon led by him). Meanwhile, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) is negotiating with Leverkusen to hope that he can participate in the (U20) World Cup.

When Messi and others completed their warm-up in the gym and prepared to go to the stadium to start this week's training, the "little demon" Claudio Echeviri chose another way - he went to Stadium 2 of Ecesa training base to train with the U20 echelon coached by Diego Placente. Although he was summoned to the adult national team by Scaloni this time, this situation may repeat in the next few days: he is expected to train with the World Cup champions (adult team) first, and then, he is likely to return to the U20 echelon training ground again.

In fact, the 19-year-old former River Plate player is one of the most powerful players in the U20 age group and is fully qualified to participate in the top competitions in that age group. The Argentine Football Association also hopes that he will be selected for the U20 echelon. Because of this, the Football Association management is negotiating with the Leverkusen Club in hopes of reaching a temporary call-up agreement to allow him to wear the No. 10 jersey of the U20 echelon and lead Placente's team forward on the court.

However, Claudio Echeviri is not the only player who may take into account both teams: thanks to the U20 echelon's training camp in Ezesa almost synchronized with the senior team this week, Julio Soler and Franco Mastantono may also participate in the training of the two teams in the past few days and switch between different courts. Like Echeviri, the Argentine Football Association is also negotiating the temporary recruitment of the two players, but from a competitive perspective, their situation is different: former Lanus player Soler is currently serving as a substitute at Bournemouth, and the difficulty of negotiation may be relatively low; while Real Madrid star Mastantono has been the main team in the last two games, and it is almost zero to get him to temporarily join the U20 echelon.

The "Little Devil" Claudio Echevelli, who was loaned from Manchester City to Leverkusen this season, appeared as a substitute in the first two rounds of the Bundesliga. Therefore, participating in the (U20) World Cup is a strange move to maintain the form of Atletico Echeviri.
