Brighton closes in on a stunning transfer for the most sought-after star on FM24 after outbidding Man City to secure wonderkid’s signing

Introduction to this article
Brighton is reportedly on the brink of signing Argentinian prodigy Valentin Barco, as the 19-year-old has caught the attention of several top clubs. With both Brighton and Manchester City vying for his signature, it seems that Barco’s talents are in high demand.

Brighton’s Pursuit

Brighton had initially tried to secure a deal with Barco before the start of the season, but were unable to finalize an agreement. However, they have renewed their efforts and are now in talks with Boca Juniors to secure the young talent for a reported £8million.

Potential Offerings

Brighton holds an attractive position due to its track record of developing young talents from South America and offering them significant opportunities in the first team. This, along with the promise of first-team opportunities, may sway Barco in favor of the Seagulls. Nevertheless, Manchester City is also in the race for his signature and hopes to hijack Brighton’s move.

Barco’s Profile

Valentin Barco, predominantly a left-back, has also shown his versatility by being able to play as a winger. His potential has not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by his popularity in the gaming world and his appearances for Boca Juniors, where he has been a part of the club since the age of nine. Additionally, he has already made two appearances for Argentina’s Under-23s, reflecting his potential on the international stage.
