Valentín 'Colo' Barco grew up in Norberto de la Riestra and joined Boca Juniors' academy in 2014, debuting at 16 and starting the 2023 Copa Libertadores final. Brighton signed him in 2024, but it was at Strasbourg, after loan spells, that the left-footer flourished, reinvented from adventurous full-back into one of Ligue 1's most inventive young midfielders. He led his club in assists in 2025-26 and heads to his first World Cup as an exciting young talent.
