Valentín Barco keen on Boca return: "I'd like to in the future" | OneFootball

Although he didn’t leave on good terms and “the thorn” still remains, Valentín Barco once again confirmed that he feels “identified” with Boca and that his wish, in the future, is to wear the blue and gold jersey again: “I would like to come back.”

Currently in training camp with the Argentine National Team—a spot he earned thanks to a remarkable season with the rising Racing de Strasbourg—Colo spoke one-on-one with TyC Sports about his bond with the club from La Ribera, last Sunday’s Superclásico, and he also didn’t hide his desire to have a second stint.

“My relationship with the club and Boca’s people was always very good, they gave me everything. I’ve been there since I was 9 years old. It was an incredible 10 years and I feel very identified with the club. Obviously, in the future I’d like to return because I only played seven months and I’m left with the thorn of not having played longer and achieved more things,” Barco expressed, without hesitation.

Even though his departure—triggering the release clause—at the beginning of 2024 was surrounded by controversy due to the crossfire with the Football Council and the inability to reach a renewal agreement, and even Juan Román Riquelme himself raised his voice about how things were handled, Barco played down that episode and stated that his affection remains intact.

In fact, Colo made it clear that “at some point” he intends to return to La Bombonera to showcase his magic, and in the meantime, he closely follows Boca’s current affairs: “I watched the match against River, I was really happy for Chango Zeballos and for the club, who won and played really well too.”
