The adventure of Valentín Barco at Sevilla seems destined to end in the upcoming January transfer window. The young Argentine full-back, who landed in Nervión during the summer to cover the departure of Marcos Acuña, has failed to carve out a place in the plans of Francisco Javier García Pimienta, the team's coach.
Despite Adrià Pedrosa's injury opening up an opportunity for him to get minutes, Barco has barely played an official match: 90 minutes in the Copa del Rey against Olot. In LaLiga, his participation has been nonexistent, even when his position required alternatives. Instead of trusting Barco, the coach has chosen to improvise with Kike Salas at left-back, a decision that has worn out the patience of the Argentine.
Sevilla is willing to terminate his loan
As reported by FutbolFantasy, since late November, both Sevilla and Brighton, the club owning his rights, had started considering ending the loan. While Barco had initially expressed his intention to stay and prove himself, the lack of opportunities has led him to change his stance.
Now, with the reopening of the transfer market, everything points to the player seeking new horizons where he can regain prominence. Meanwhile, Sevilla would take the opportunity to free up a spot and strengthen their left flank, closing a chapter that hasn't unfolded as expected. The departure of Barco, unless there is a surprise, appears imminent.
