Brighton have ‘decided to return to the fray’ for player – ‘Already met’ with representative

Brighton and Hove Albion are once again considering a move for Valentín Barco,

and they have already spoken with his representatives to discuss the possibility of a move.

In the upcoming weeks, the defender is expected to rise to the position of most valuable player in Argentina, according to TyC Sports.

They clarify that Barco is expected to become the most highly valued player in the nation,

at least based on statistics published by websites like Transfermarkt,

given the news that Uruguayan Nicolás de la Cruz is expected to leave for Flamengo in the coming weeks.

At this moment, his valuation is estimated to be around €13.3 million,

with fellow young Argentinean Claudio Echeverri behind closely at about €12 million.

After that, TyC examine Barco’s future,

which has been uncertain since Brighton initially expressed interest in him in the summer.

They clarify that Brighton made two offers for the defender in the middle of the season,

but they were turned down because Barco wanted to compete in the Copa Libertadores.

The defender has been sought after by European teams for a considerable amount of time.

That’s not finished, and Brighton has “decided to return to the fray”

for Boca as he is not expected to face any continental competition going forward.

Although they haven’t made any new proposals for the player,

they have “already met with his representative” to reevaluate a transfer, which is important.

The Argentine club is aiming to renew and upgrade Barco’s current contract,

so “everything remains to be seen.” However, Barco’s current contract has a €10 million release clause,

which is slightly below his value.
