Racing Club de Strasbourg (commonly known as Strasbourg) has completed a significant transfer operation, securing Valentín Barco for the coming seasons on a permanent basis. Having initially arrived on loan from Brighton last winter, the Argentine full-back has now committed to Racing with a definitive contract that will see him wear the blue and white shirt until 2029.
The French club has expressed great satisfaction with their decision to exercise the option to sign the young talent permanently. Since January, Barco has featured in 15 official matches for Racing, demonstrating his qualities and considerable potential. His displays haven`t gone unnoticed back home either, as the Argentine has already made an appearance for the senior national team and was called up this summer for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Valentín Barco`s continued presence at Racing sends a clear signal about the club`s ambitions to build a solid and competitive team centered around promising young players. With this long-term agreement, Racing secures a versatile and highly prospective player, who is expected to become a key fixture in the team for the future.
