Valentine boat He made his debut at the age of 16 in the Primera de Boca. It was July 2021 against Unión in Santa Fe. He was already showing signs of being a daring left-back, perhaps due to his background as a forward at his hometown club Sportivo 25 de Mayo. Subsequently he played that match that few will forget against Banfield, because it was necessary to appeal to the Reserve who was then managing Sebastián Battaglia, given that professionals were not allowed to leave the hotel due to health restrictions.

A lot of water flowed under the football bridge and a little cloudy in the Barco case. Until he signed a renewal of his contract, he wasn’t considered. Fixed the link until December 2024 with a $10 million release clausethe news of the last few hours was the presence of the boy who turns 18 today with the squad of the First Division.

He wasn’t the only one promoted by Hugo Ibarra. Also, Pedro Verlutas (21), Mauricio Benítez (19), Gonzalo Morales (19) and Tomás Bustos (18). They are all part of the team led by Mariano Herrón.

Does this mean that Barco will start? Of course not, because above him he has Frank Fabra and Agustín Sandez, who usually also plays as a central scorer. However, the boy asked for clues, he is talented and a player with a great future, to the point that during the break there was an offer from Getafe for 4 million euros for 50% of the pass.

“There were meetings with Mr. Adrián Ruocco and the boy’s father in which they asked to renew for one year and to set some conditions, as representatives always do and it’s perfect because it’s their job,” said Juan Román Riquelme . Young wanted the exit clause not to be so high.

The presence of Barco and the rest of the boys, Is it out of necessity or is it a pressure on the rest of the team? There is a reality: Darío Benedetto and Sebastián Villa are suspended and Exequiel Zeballos (he underwent surgery on the meniscus in his left knee yesterday) and Nicolás Orsini are injured. But it is also a way for none of the incumbents to feel safe. After all, the coach is satisfied with Sergio Romero, Nicolás Figal and Oscar Romero, as he was able to find out clarion. The others have no guaranteed position.

Without going any further, Ibarra thinks about the changes. The scheme would be 4-3-1-2 with the insertion of Ezequiel Fernández in the center and Miguel Merentiel in attack. At least, that design was tested this Tuesday in Ezeiza.
