ValentÃn Barco’s strong performances in France have caught the attention of one of Europe’s biggest clubs. According to reports from Fichajes and the German outlet TZ, Bayern Munich are monitoring the 21-year-old Argentine defender, who has become one of Racing Strasbourg’s standout players this season in Ligue 1.
Barco, a former Boca Juniors youth product, joined Strasbourg earlier this year and quickly adapted to French football, alternating between left-back and midfield roles. His versatility and attacking qualities have made him a key part of the team.
Sources in Germany indicate that Bayern’s scouting department has followed several of Barco’s matches, viewing him as a possible reinforcement ahead of next summer’s transfer window. The Bavarian club values his youth, athletic ability, and tactical flexibility — traits that fit their long-term sporting strategy.
Strasbourg, part of the same ownership group as Chelsea, reportedly values Barco at around €40 million. His current contract runs until 2029.
This season, Barco has made eight Ligue 1 appearances — seven as a starter — and recorded two assists. Strasbourg remains one of the surprises of the campaign, sitting near the top of the league table after an impressive 3–3 draw against PSG.
Lautaro MartÃnez scored for Inter Milan in a 4-0 win against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the UEFA Champions League matchday 3.
The match took place at the Stade Joseph Marien in Belgium. Shortly before halftime, MartÃnez scored the second goal of the game after an assist from Francesco Pio Esposito. The Argentine forward finished the play with a right-footed shot into the left corner of the net.
With this goal, MartÃnez reached three goals in two Champions League matches this season and now totals 159 goals in 344 appearances for Inter.
With this victory, Inter Milan remains unbeaten and shares the top of the standings with Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League.
