The 19-year-old left-back is a product of Boca Juniors’ academy and Barco is considered to be a promising prospect.
Barco has managed to attract attention from English champions Manchester City in the ongoing window.
However, the Sky Blues are not his only suitors in the Premier League, as Brighton are also in the race.
Brighton are leading the race for Barco, but it had been suggested that Manchester City are preparing to trigger the release clause for the Boca Juniors youngster.
However, according to Fox Sports Argentina, Manchester City will not trigger the release clause for Barco.
And it has been suggested that the Sky Blues have neither made contacts with the Argentine outfit nor with Barco’s representatives.
Barco is very highly rated at Boca Juniors and has featured 17 times for the Argentinian outfit this season, racking up six yellow cards in the process.
