There are several reasons why Brighton & Hove Albion supporters should be excited about the club’s long-running pursuit of Valentin Barco.
The first was reported over the weekend by D Sports Radio. On Twitter, he stated that the Seagulls sent scouts to watch the player play against Godoy Cruz in Mendoza.
Despite interest from Atlético Madrid and Manchester City, it was reported that Brighton would be keeping an eye on the player, who is protected by a US$10 million release clause.
Another sign that the race has heated up is that Boca Juniors just played their final game of the season, which is interpreted as a sign that Barco will soon leave the club.
Outlet According to Soy Xeneize, this may have been the player’s final appearance, as the Buenos Aires club may be looking to sell after a disappointing season.
Brighton remains one of the strongest candidates, though the outlet reports that Manchester City is his preferred option.
So, in addition to triggering the clause, it appears that the Seagulls must persuade the player that he can succeed there.
