Bayern Weighs €40 Million Move for Racing Strasbourg’s Valentín Barco, Per German Report

The 21-year-old’s breakout follows a switch from left back to an interior midfield role at Racing Strasbourg.

Overview

  • German outlet TZ München is cited as saying Bayern Munich is closely tracking Barco and considering an offer near €40 million, with no formal bid filed.
  • Reports note Bayern scouts have attended Strasbourg matches for months to monitor the Argentine.
  • Strasbourg signed Barco in January 2025 for about €10 million on a contract running through 2029, giving the club leverage in any talks.
  • Barco has emerged as Strasbourg’s on-ball organizer since moving into midfield, with the team up to third in Ligue 1 and in the Conference League.
  • A transfer at around €40 million would deliver a major profit for Strasbourg and could rank among the higher fees for an Argentine player in Ligue 1.
