The Argentine full-back has established himself as a key player at Racing Club de Strasbourg, and the German giant is closely monitoring him
The French club has already set a price for its gem: 40 million euros. This amount doesn't intimidate Bayern, especially given the possible departure of Raphael Guerreiro. If the transfer goes through, Boca could also benefit thanks to FIFA's solidarity mechanism, which reserves 5% of the total amount for the training clubs. In this case, it would receive around 1.2 million euros, since Colo played at the institution between the ages of 12 and 19.
On a personal level, Barco continues to dream of wearing the Argentina National Team jersey again. He knows that the competition for his position is fierce, with names like Tagliafico, Acuña, and Soler, but his ambition is to earn a spot on Lionel Scaloni's list for the 2026 World Cup.
From that kid who debuted with Miguel Ángel Russo in 2021 to the full-back who now dazzles in France, Valentín Barco confirms what many suspected: his ceiling is still far away.
After his departure from Boca, with ups and downs at Brighton and Sevilla, Valentín Barco found the ideal stage to showcase his talent at Racing de Strasbourg. Today, at just 21 years old, he is one of the revelations of Ligue 1, and his name is starting to gain traction in the offices of Bayern Munich.
According to the German outlet TZ, scouts from the Bavarian club have attended several matches of the Alsatian team to closely follow "Colo." In the most recent matchday, the Argentine was one of the standout players in the 3-3 draw against PSG, where he provided a brilliant assist, his second in eight games, and once again left his mark in the elite of French football.
Since his arrival in Strasbourg, Barco has secured an undisputed place. He has played 26 matches, provided four assists, and has had a growing impact on the team's offensive play. His intensity, boldness, and vision have made him a key piece for the team led by Patrick Vieira, who wasted no time in securing him, and a few months ago activated the purchase option of 10 million euros and signed him until 2029.
