The Argentine player left Boca Juniors as a star to join the Seagulls

The Argentine player Valentin Barco gets ready to live some of the best days of his impressive and meteoric career in world football. After having shined at Boca Juniors during the last few seasons and reaching a Libertadores Cup with the Argentine giant, the player recently confirmed his arrival to the Premier League, giving a shocking message on his transfer for Brighton.

The versatile player, who has completed his move to the Seagulls for €10 million during the January transfer market window, left a shocking message to ESPN on his previous club Boca Juniors ahead of his arrival to the English team, which has been highly commented by the Argentine fans on the social media due to the player’s words about his former club.

I always told my representative from the beginning that I did not want to execute the clause, that I wanted to leave a percentage to Boca, it was the club that gave me everything from the beginning, I am very grateful. Not reaching an agreement and on my part thinking that the best thing is to emigrate to continue growing, we decided that,” said the 19-year-old youth in his interview with ESPN.

Barco had words on his new adventure at Brighton

In this sense, the Argentine player also had words for his next manager, Roberto de Zerbi, who under Brighton has become one of the top coaches in English football."I didn't have the opportunity to speak with the coach despite being already a Brighton player. It's a totally different kind of football than here. I'll have to adapt, I hope it's quick. I spoke with Facu Buonanotte, who is there. As I said before, I can do it as a 3 or as a midfielder, so wherever the team and the coach need me, I'm going to do it," he added.
