Barco joins Sevilla on season-long loan

Midfielder Valentin Barco has joined Spanish club Sevilla on loan for the 2024-25 season.

He made seven appearances in all competitions for Brighton last season after joining the Seagulls in January from Boca Juniors.

"Valentin made good progress with us last season and this is a great opportunity for him to go and get experience and minutes with one of the top clubs in Spain in a very competitive environment," head coach Fabian Hurzeler said.

Technical director David Weir added: "Sevilla is a fantastic club for Valentin to go and further his development. He made a great impression last season in the Premier League and La Liga is another top league where he can continue to learn."
