Brighton and Hove Albion defender Valentin Barco is in Argentina’s preliminary squad for upcoming games against Chile and Colombia, justifying his move to Strasbourg in the January transfer window.
TYC Sports provide the ‘pre-list’ for Argentina ahead of the games against their South American rivals next month.
While there are big name inclusions, such as the return of Lionel Messi, the Brighton man also finds himself on the list.
He is one of several returnees, alongside Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, and it is thanks to him ‘starring’ for Strasbourg since January.
TYC, say he has ‘relaunched’ his career in Franche and is now a ‘fundamental’ piece in Strasbourg’s squad, which has led to him being a bet that Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni is willing to make.
The inclusion has fully justified Barco’s decision to head to France in the winter window after a
He joined the Spanish side on loan from Brighton in the summer but barely featured, with a handful of appearances failing to convince several managers. The loan was eventually cut short, and he was sent to Strasbourg, where he’s been starring ever since.
Now he’s back in the Argentina set up for the next international break, fully justifying his move in January and presumably making Brighton very happy too.
