Esequiel Barco

In June 2026, reports indicated Spartak Moskva wants €3.4-4.4 million for 50% of the player's rights, implying a full valuation of €6.8-8.8 million. During the same period, Independiente reportedly made several rejected offers for 50% of the rights, rising from €1.3 million to €2.1 million. The player's Transfermarkt value was listed at €16 million in June 2026. Previously, in September 2025, Spartak was reportedly asking for around €17.2 million, and in October 2025, reports claimed the club wanted to recoup the €14 million fee they paid for his transfer from River Plate to Spartak Moscow in July 2024.

Our valuation for Ezequiel Barco is primarily driven by Spartak Moskva's reported June 2026 asking price of €3.4-4.4 million for 50% of the player's rights, implying a full valuation of €6.8-8.8 million. This is a significant decrease from the €14 million fee paid in July 2024 and higher reported asking prices in 2025. The player's strong desire to return to Argentina and the low, rejected offers from Independiente are depressing his value, while interest from other clubs like Boca Juniors and Cruzeiro creates a slightly higher ceiling.
