Barcelona manager Xavi has acknowledged the potential of young footballer Claudio Echeverri, highlighting his impressive performance in a recent match against Brazil where he scored a hat-trick. Xavi described Echeverri as a “talent” and a “differential footballer,” indicating that he stands out with his abilities on the pitch.
While praising Echeverri’s skills, Xavi also noted that any recruitment decisions would fall under the purview of Barcelona’s scouting department. The manager’s comments suggest that Echeverri’s recent display has not gone unnoticed by the club’s talent identification team.
According to Xavi: “He is a talent. Beyond the 3 goals he scored against Brazil, he’s a very talented boy. He is a differential footballer, but this is something for the scouting area of course.”
