Valentín Barco wants Boca return, jokes about No 5 shirt | OneFootball

The Argentina national team player spoke after his first goal and, amid transfer rumors, made it clear that he wants to return to the club in the future.

Valentín Barco spoke about his present and future after scoring his first goal for the Argentina national team and left a message directed at Boca. Amid reports of a possible transfer to Chelsea, the player said that he would like to return to the club.

“My idea is to come back when I’m doing well; I already asked Leandro Paredes to save the number five for me”, he said in an interview.

The full-back also referred to his bond with the fans. “I want to give the people back everything they gave me and bring them the joy and titles that I couldn’t give them”, he added.

Barco played again at La Bombonera with the national team, in the match against Zambia, where he scored his first goal wearing the national shirt. It was his return to the stadium since November 2023.

After leaving Boca, the player was transferred to Brighton and then moved to Sevilla. He currently plays for Racing Strasbourg, where he has logged minutes as a midfielder.

In this context, he is looking to establish himself in the national team coaching staff’s plans ahead of the next World Cup, while still holding onto his intention of returning to the club in the future.
