Valentín Barco's stint at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán is on track to be extremely short and unproductive, despite arriving with the reputation of a young Argentine promise to replace Marcos Acuña. His time in Nervión already had an expiration date since he arrived on loan from Brighton without a purchase option, implying his return to the English club in the summer. However, everything suggests that his stay in the 'blanquirrojo' team will be even shorter than anticipated.

The versatile full-back does not fit into García Pimienta's plans, who practically sidelined him after substituting him at halftime at San Mamés due to the ease with which Athletic Club attacked down his flank. Prior to that incident, he had not even solidified his place as an undisputed starter, but since then, his participation has been drastically reduced. So much so that in the last six games, he has only played 36 minutes.

The lack of playing time has made Valentín Barco's situation at Sevilla unsustainable, and all parties are seriously considering terminating the agreement reached in the summer so the player can return to Brighton. In this regard, as previously reported by this editorial, the English club reserved the right to unilaterally rescind the loan if they deemed it unproductive.

In Nervión, they are considering this option and do not rule out his early departure, which would allow the club to lighten its salary burden and seek a reinforcement for the full-back position in the winter transfer market.

According to Cope Sevilla, this situation could be very advanced, as the media outlet practically asserts that Valentín Barco is ready to return to Brighton, considering that all parties agree that his current role does not benefit anyone.
