Valentin Barco is joining La Liga club Sevilla on loan until the end of the season.

Valentin Barco is joining Sevilla on a season-long loan.

Men’s first team head coach Fabian Hurzeler said, “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.

We wish him well and I look forward to seeing how he progresses during the season.”

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.

“Our pathway development manager, Gordon Greer will closely follow his progress throughout the season.”

The 20-year-old midfielder joined Albion in January 2024 from Boca Juniors, having made 35 first-team appearances for the Argentinian club.

He made his Premier League debut in March against Liverpool and went on to make seven appearances in all competitions last season. He also gained his first Argentina cap earlier this year against El Salvador.
