Mouth Today Juniors received in its accounts the payment of 10 million dollars for the termination clause of Valentine Boatso the youthful member of the Argentine national team Sub 23 formally stopped being a “xeneize” player and joined the Brighton from England.
Taxes deducted, Boca will have 9.5 million net dollars leftin an operation that, since it is not a direct sale, will not have to pay anything to Barco as a percentage payment for the player, nor the commission for the footballer’s representative.
Barco, 19, has already completed the medical examination, which was carried out last Tuesday in a Buenos Aires clinic, and today from an office in Puerto Madero he signed his five-year contract with the English club, until December 2029.
At Brighton & Hove Albion, “Colo”, emerged from the “xeneize” quarry, will be a teammate of the Argentine Facundo Buonanotte, former Rosario Central. His incorporation into the team of the club located in the city of the same name, in the coastal area of southern England, will take place in mid-February, once the participation of the “albiceleste” team in the Pre-Olympic Championship in Venezuela concludes.

With social networks divided between those who defend him and those who harshly criticize him for his decision to execute a termination clause that is clearly of low value (although everyone recognizes his qualities as a player), Barco leaves as a memory good performances in 35 games played, two goals, 4 assists and a title won as a member of the Boca team that won the 2022 Professional League.
The terrible relationship that the Boca leadership has with the footballer’s representative, Adrián Ruocco (the same one who represents Carlos Tevez), prevented some time ago an agreement to extend the contract between the Ribera club and Barco’s father when the player was still minor.
As a consequence of this situation, the footballer signed a contract in 2022 that expired at the end of 2024 with a clause of 10 million dollars, very low for the international market, which Brighton of the English Premier League now took advantage of.
