The striker, who is one step away from joining the Millionaire, had a lot of action in the last half and a great influence on his team, which finished fifth in the MLS.
River does not stop his march in search of reinforcements and is close to materializing one of the great surprises in this pass market: the arrival of Esequiel Barco, the talented 22-year-old striker who knew how to consecrate himself in the 2017 Copa Sudamericana with Independiente. With the bomb of the almost closed sale of Julián Álvarez to Manchester City (he will leave in June), the leadership began a fleeting operation with Atlanta United and is one step away from signing his arrival on loan for one year (with charge).
River, pay attention: this was Barco’s last season at Atlanta United
The fact that the MLS team needs to get rid of some professional contracts facilitated the negotiations and prompted the Millionaire to go after a high-ranking soccer player, young and who also comes with a lot of soccer filming.
In his last season in the United States, Barco played at a high level and He was one of the key pieces of the team from his individual imbalance. Their hard numbers indicate that played 29 games between the MLS (Atlanta was in fifth position), the playoffs of said competition and the Concacaf Champions League, he contributed eight goals and distributed seven assists. In total, he was on the pitch for 2,497 minutes.
