Valentine boat It’s starting to break down barriers at a frightening rate. The explosion of Young talent of the Boca Juniors It has reached such a level that Premier League clubs are already knocking on its door. First was Brighton by Roberto De Zerbi, and now an ocean liner like this has landed at Manchester City by Pep Guardiola.
According to information from The Sun The group “Cityzen” wants to thwart the operation pushed by Brighton and pay the clause of 10 million euros that he signed with Boca Juniors. Although it’s not clear if he would join the team directly, Guardiola’s interest is very clear.
A perfect “plus” for defense
The coach from Santpedor joins Barco as the perfect solution to your left side problems, where men like Nathan Aké and Josko Guardiol are absent and there is no clear starter for the season. The arrival of the 19-year-old footballer would give more experienced defenders some room to settle into their natural positions.
He has barely played 20 games in the First Division but has already secured a place on the agenda of English football’s ‘giants’. Being the creative epicenter of a team like Boca on the left isn’t the most normal thing for a 19-year-old. Creative, fast, determined, and leading.
Barco could use the same formula Julián Álvarez had from River Plate before arriving at Etihad to reach City. The ‘Spider’ signed for the England side in January 2022 but only landed in Manchester in the summer as he spent the remainder of the season on loan at River.

Another option would be, as has been the case with other young footballers who have joined Manchester City, to be loaned to one of the clubs in the City Football Group (Girona, New York City, Melbourne City, Palermo, Troyes…). Everything points to the fact that, at the moment, Barco’s intention is to end the season at Boca Juniors before considering leaving La Bombonera.
The “Xeneize” team will advance to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores after beating Nacional on penalties. As if the pressure wasn’t on him, Valencian Barco was responsible for converting the winning penalty. He is destined to succeed in the elite. ‘Colorado, Valentn Barco, is on course to become one of the brightest prospects in Argentine football.
