However, when he arrives in January, manager Pep Guardiola may give him first-team game time.
Per The Mirror, Guardiola knows that he needs strength in depth for the second half of the season.
Echeverri would be able to fill in for the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, and Jack Grealish.
Whether he is ready for such a step up is not yet clear, given he has not played in Europe.
