The Reds” are considering the possibility of acquiring the South American star.
With almost six weeks to go until the January transfer window opens, Liverpool are looking to add to their defensive options.
According to Calcio Mercato (via TEAMtalk ), the Reds will face “fierce” competition to sign Valentin Barco from Argentina’s Boca Juniors next year.
According to the publication, Juventus and Manchester City are also interested in the talented 19-year-old left-back, who has a €10 million release clause in his current contract.
But people who drive to protect their signatures do not say they don’t still think about Liverpool.
But when Jürgen brought Barco Barco to Anco Anco, the German director was on Andy Robertson on the left. Robertson’s Liverpool statsThe Scot has made 2.9 tackles and an interception per game in eight Premier League games, scoring one goal and making no assists.The 29-year-old ace provided eight assists in 34 top-flight appearances for the club last season and his creativity has been a constant spark throughout his Anfield career.
Statistics suggest Barco could be Robertson’s successorAt 19, Barco is 10 years younger than the current Liverpool star and has plenty of space and time to grow and develop as a player, making him a potential long-term successor to his position in the team.
Football talent scout Jacek Kulig called him an “exciting” prospect and once described the gem as a “miracle”. Kulig also hailed him as Argentina’s version of Marcelo, the legendary Brazil and Real Madrid left-back.
The young talent has shown attacking potential in 2023 and could be a replacement for Robertson due to his ability to play in the final third.
Barco has one assist and three “big chances” for his teammates in eight Libertadores starts this year, and two assists and three “big chances” in six Copa de la Liga starts.
The talented left-back impressed at the U-20 World Cup in Argentina earlier this year, registering one assist and 2.5 assists in three matches. These stats show that, similar to what Robertson did at Liverpool, the young soldier has the ability to create chances and score goals from a defensive position at an impressive rate.
Klopp can therefore reach his next secondary pivot at left-back, completing a deal for Barco ahead of Manchester City and Juventus in January.
