Last week, we reported on Argentine media reports that Manchester City is one of the clubs interested in Boca Juniors’ Valentn Barco.
The 19-year-old has been a regular this season, and his performances have piqued the interest of several teams, including the Citizens.
Manchester City ‘intend to make an offer’ for the player’s services, according to Planeta Boca Juniors.
His contract runs through December 2024, and according to the article, it has a $10 million [€9.5 million] release clause, which is what the treble champions intend to offer.
According to reports, Pep Guardiola’s team want to reach an agreement with the South American club and then enable Barco to continue his growth with them until next summer.
According to previous reports, Boca Juniors intends to offer the player a new contract and raise the clause to $20 million [€19.1 million]. This is transmitted by the news outlet, who then makes no mention of Barco’s future decision.
Juan Román Riquelme, vice president of Boca Juniors, was recently asked about speculations tying the player to Manchester City and others, and he advised Barco not to rush into a decision on his future.
Barco has made 22 appearances this season, mostly as a left winger but also as a wing-back and left-back. He has one goal and one assist.
