Priority Between Suggestions and Second Options… and a Conversation with Ansu Fati | Relief
There are many contacts, offers and even verbal agreements on the transfer market that do not become official. However, this did not happen Valentin Barko, a 20-year-old young man who stirred up passions in Seville as soon as you land in the cityThe Argentine will move on loan without the option to buy to Nervion. replace your compatriot Marcos Acuña. A coup due to the speed of his arrival, since almost two days after the departure of the new River Plate player, an agreement with Colorado had already been agreed.
Sevilla made it clear even before the market started that they needed to solve the Garcia Pimienta problem quickly.. Coaches like Mendilibar and Lopetegui blamed this during the pre-season in Nervión for the delay in reinforcements and the difficulties of working with a closed squad. The Barcelona coach had to change the situation, and the arrival of Valentin Barco is an example of this. Victor Orta had been using his name for several weeks as the club awaited the departure of Marcos Acuña.: Footballers ultimately play where they want. That has always been the priority, although it is true that other names have crossed the sporting director’s desk.
Barco’s alternative was Nayair Tiknizyan from Moscow’s Lokomotiv.. Since the Argentine option was ultimately positive, Sevilla did not go into sixth gear in search of the 25-year-old Armenian defender, although Victor Orta liked him too. Apart from this second candidate, it is absolutely true that Marcos Alonso’s proposals and Xavi Galanbut none of them ultimately suited the sporting director of Madrid, who was fully convinced that the best profile for García Pimienta was Colorado.
Thus, with great harmony between all parties, Valentin Barco’s last acceleration was “simple”. Brighton did not want to include the option of purchase, which was understood in Nervione, where They believe they can negotiate his succession if he behaves well.. Although that’s a long way off at the moment. The Argentine’s next step will be training with his teammates, which he will be able to do next Monday when will be registered and will be able to travel to Mallorca with the whole team. Previously, it was not possible to play sports due to bureaucratic problems.something completely normal, and it has already had an impact on Sevilla in this market, with Iheanacho and Lokonga.
Conversation with Ansu Fati
Valentin Barco’s departure from Brighton was not only important but also career-defining. After arriving in England last January from Boca Juniors and in exchange for a transfer worth around ten million euros, this move was necessary. I needed to find more minutes, but choosing a destination was not easy.
Among the various options, Colorado chose Sevilla. The reason? Among other reasons, conversation with Ansu Fati. At Brighton, he became friends with a Barcelona player who had grown up in the Nervión youth academy. So when he began to take an interest in the Seville enterprise, he went to him. The Argentine himself spoke about this in his first interview with the club’s official media: “I spoke to him before arriving and asked him. He told me that a very big club that played good football offered… This conversation was very positive, because he also made this decision.“.
Besides talking about the club, Barco insisted to Fati about Garcia Pimientewhich he met at La Masia. He was full of praise and flattery about it, which marked his decision.
