Strasbourg has finalized the signing of Valentín Barco, an Argentine left-back who belongs to Brighton and recently terminated his loan at Sevilla. The deal will be in the form of a loan with an obligatory purchase option, valued at 10 million euros. Additionally, the English club would secure a percentage higher than 10% on a future sale of the player.

With their team currently in the ninth position in Ligue 1 and just three points away from the European zone, Strasbourg is looking to strengthen their squad to keep their hopes alive for qualifying in international competitions. The Alsacian club's management believes that adding a player like Barco could be crucial for competing in the second half of the season, as their left-back position needs more options.

Valentín Barco to Play in France

At 20 years old, the Argentine defender has had a challenging season. With only 466 minutes played, his time at Sevilla was hampered by an injury that kept him out of the game for two months. However, his potential is still highly regarded, and Strasbourg sees him as an alternative to strengthen their defense, competing with Diego Moreira, who has been a key player in that area of the field.

The negotiations are progressing well, indicating that Barco will have the chance to revive his career in French football. With his arrival, Strasbourg reinforces its ambition to fight for a place in European tournaments, in a league where every point will be crucial in the final stretch of the season.
