Brighton & Hove Albion’s Valentín Barco has been on loan at Sevilla since last summer and has struggled in Spain.
The left-back has clocked in 466 minutes from nine games and has made only one appearance since October, which came against Rayo Vallecano in November.
On December 19th, Diario de Sevilla stated Brighton will make an imminent decision on the 20-year-old’s temporary stay at the La Liga side.
Vamos Mi Sevilla FC now claim Barco’s future would be away from the Spanish club and explain what has slowed down his exit.
Both the Argentine international and the Seagulls are convinced it’s best to terminate his loan deal with Sevilla. The Premier League side want another club to take him on loan until the end of this season and FC Porto have come forward.
The fullback ‘gives approval’ to joining the Portuguese club, who have to find an agreement with Brighton.
He’s currently training with Sevilla because there are ‘some details’ that need to be sorted out between Porto and Brighton. The report adds the Dragons would sign Barco on an 18-month loan deal with a buying option for €8-10m.
Sevilla are keen on getting rid of Barco and their wish could be fulfilled soon.
