According to a source from TYC Sports, Manchester City is making progress toward finalizing a contract with a promising young player from Argentina.
A quality left-back is no longer part of Manchester City’s roster after the club agreed to let Joao Cancelo spend the season on loan at Barcelona. In recent years, the defensive formation utilized most frequently by Pep Guardiola, the team’s head coach, has been a three-man unit, and players such as Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, Serigo Gomez, and even Rico Lewis have been used to fill this role. On the other hand, The Citizens could be willing to accept a fresh face at some point in the future.
According to information provided by sources from TYC Sports, Manchester City is very close to reaching an agreement with Boca Juniors to acquire left defender Valentin Barco. This season, the Argentine player has produced 1 goal and 2 assists while wearing the shirt of the Tango club, and he has been impressive to see in that role.
He possesses a great technical foundation, outstanding skills with the ball, and is very sharp in participating in assaults. He is also a very good ball handler. Therefore, there is reason to believe that Valentin Barco will prove to be a valuable addition to Manchester City’s roster in the years to come.
Prior to the signing of the star player from Boca Juniors, the Citizens had a great deal of success with another Argentinean player, striker Julian Alvarez, who was known as Pep Guardiola’s “super sub” and was an essential part of the team’s run to the championship. Argentina’s national team, La Albiceleste, will win the World Cup in 2022.
