Brighton’s Argentina international left back Valentin Barco looks to be heading to Sevilla on a season loan.
Barco, 20, joined Brighton for around £10m from Boca Juniors last January and is said to have agreed to the La Liga switch. Barco is contracted with Brighton until 2028 and last season he made six Premier League appearances for the Seagulls.

Hide AdTransfer expert Fabrizio Romano posted: “Sevilla are confident to get green light soon for Valentín Barco to join on loan from Brighton.


Barco has accepted to join Sevilla and talks over loan do not include an option to buy, as things stand. #BHAFC keep working on Ferdi Kadioglu deal as new left back.”
The Seagulls have been in talks with Fenerbache for Kadioglu throughout the transfer window. The 24-year-old Turkey international is valued at around £25m and is also wanted by Manchester United and Fulham.
Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler is keen to bolster his options on the left side as Ecuador international Pervis Estupinan continues to recover from ankle surgery, while left-sided defender Igor Julio is out with an unspecified injury. Full back Tariq Lamptey can also play at left back but he too is working his way back to fitness from an injury sustained in pre-season.
