Barco can operate at left-back and in the middle of the pitch. The current Chelsea boss used him as a midfielder at the French club. He has managed one goal and nine assists in 27 appearances in all competitions so far this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion brought him to Europe by signing him from Boca Juniors in 2024. He struggled at The Amex and failed to impress during his loan spell at Sevilla. Barco was just beginning to adjust to European football at Strasbourg and it didn't go unnoticed.

It appears Chelsea are 'trying their best' to beat off competition for his signature. His owners, Bleuco, also own Strasbourg, and that should give them a clear advantage in bringing the versatile player back to the Premier League.
Barco will be focused on making an impact on the pitch to improve his chances of making the World Cup. He made his debut for Argentina in March 2024 and has not played for the national team since.
