ANALYSIS
Barco has struggled to see regular minutes at Sevilla, and Brighton are considering loaning him elsewhere in January so he can get the minutes he needs to continue his development. Barco is an international with Argentina, but he could lose his place in the NT if he doesn't play regularly, which might be an issue with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon.
