Strasbourg talent Valentin Barco is catching the attention of Chelsea and other top clubs according to reports. Barco joined the Ligue 1 outfit from Brighton in the summer and has made a very good start to the season in France.

A journalist has just dropped some intriguing information on a potential hint of Valentin Barco joining Chelsea from Brighton. The news comes off the back of Chelsea getting an essential three points on Saturday afternoon by beating Everton 1-0 at home after a fantastic first half goal from striker Nicolas Jackson ending his 2025 goal draught.
Sevilla manager Francisco Javier Garcia Pimienta has been blunt about the future of Kelechi Iheanacho and Valentin Barco, with both expected to leave in the January transfer window.
Valentin Barco could see his season-long loan at Sevilla terminated in January due to a lack of game time. The Argentina international joined the La Liga side at the start of the 2024/25 campaign on the back of debut Premier League season at Brighton in 2023/24.
Earlier this week, Sevilla announced the sale of Marcos Acuna. The 32-year-old, who had been at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan for four years, has returned to his native Argentina, joining River Plate.
