A target for Flamengo in this transfer window , striker Esequiel Barco is going through a delicate situation off the field. According to agent Timur Gurtskaya, the Spartak Moscow (RUS) player is facing family pressure to leave the country. The Argentine's wife has reportedly threatened to file for divorce if he stays in Russia for another season — and, according to reports, has also considered preventing him from seeing their son.
TRAJECTORY AND PROMINENCE IN RUSSIA
At 26, Barco has experience in different markets. Revealed by Independiente (ARG), where he was champion of the Copa Sudamericana against Flamengo , he passed through Atlanta United (USA) and River Plate (ARG) before transferring to Spartak in 2024.
Even amid a tense political scenario in the country, the Argentine had an outstanding performance in his first season in Russia: 36 matches, 14 goals and 9 assists . However, the context of instability has led several South American athletes to consider leaving Russian football — and Barco could be the next.
FLAMENGO SEES IT AS PLAN B
With an eye on strengthening the offensive sector, Flamengo is closely monitoring the situation of Esequiel Barco. However, the Argentine is considered an alternative to the club's main target : Jorge Carrascal, from Dynamo Moscow (RUS), who was close to becoming a reinforcement for Mais Querido.
Negotiations with Dynamo are currently at a standstill, which makes Barco's possible departure from Spartak a scenario that should be carefully explored by the red-black football department . The athlete should finally return to Russia after an extended vacation period due to negotiations with Mengão.
