Manchester City, the reigning Premier League champions, are expressing confidence in their ability to secure the services of Valentin Barco, the rising star from Boca Juniors, despite competition from Brighton. According to reports in The Daily Star, Pep Guardiola’s team has initiated an £8 million bid to acquire this promising South American talent ahead of other potential suitors.
In a broader context, Barco, a highly touted prospect from Boca Juniors in Argentina, has garnered significant interest from several European clubs. Juventus and Brighton had also shown interest in securing the young talent. Manchester City, renowned for their successful signings from La Albiceleste in the past, are eager to expand their Argentine contingent, with Julian Alvarez already a part of the club.
