Claudio Echeverri, born on 2 January 2006 (age 20), is an Argentine attacking midfielder with Benfica. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.71m), he is primarily used through the middle, where his game is built more on touch and movement than presence.
His clearest senior run so far came at River Plate in 2024, when he scored two league goals in 20 appearances. That remains his most productive league season, a modest return but enough to mark him out as a young player being given proper minutes rather than just polite cameos.
At Benfica in 2026-27, Echeverri has made one Liga Portugal appearance. He has also been recorded with one appearance for Argentina this season, scoring once at the Club World Cup.
His career is still at an early stage: River Plate gave him his first substantial platform, Benfica are now the next step, and his international involvement keeps him on a broader radar.
