Bayern München manager Vincent Kompany is looking to strengthen his squad, particularly at the left-back position where Alphonso Davies has struggled with injuries. According to German media, Kompany is interested in 21-year-old Valentín Barco. The Argentinian currently plays for Strasbourg, where he has been converted from a left-back to a midfielder, and it is this versatility that is considered a great fit for Kompany's system. Reports from Germany state that Kompany is completely convinced of Barco's qualities and that Bayern, who have been following the player for some time, would be willing to pay as much as 40 million euros for him. Barco has also previously played for Boca Juniors, Brighton, and Sevilla. He joined Strasbourg in July 2025 and has a contract with the club until 2029. The midfielder has one cap for Argentina. He has a current market value of €15.00m according to Transfermarkt.
