Bengaluru FC is actively pursuing a potential transfer deal for Spanish forward Mario Barco from Inter Kashi, with negotiations ongoing regarding the transfer fee. The Blues are keen on bolstering their squad for the upcoming challenges, and Barco’s impressive performance in the ongoing I-League has caught the attention of the Indian club.
In the current I-League season, Mario Barco showcased his attacking prowess by featuring in 9 matches, where he notched up 3 goals and contributed with 7 assists, accumulating a total playing time of 779 minutes. His impact on the field has evidently made him a target for Bengaluru FC as they seek to enhance their attacking options.
Barco’s football journey has seen him navigate through various clubs in the Spanish footballing hierarchy. The forward initially signed for UD Logroñés in Segunda División B in August 2012 after impressing during a trial period. He later returned to the club’s reserves in the third tier. A series of moves followed, including stints at Barakaldo CF, CD Lugo, and loan spells with UD Somozas and Pontevedra CF.
In the 2016-2017 season, Barco’s stint at Pontevedra CF was particularly noteworthy, where he scored 12 goals despite missing out on the playoffs due to injury. His performances earned him a move to the second division with Cádiz CF in June 2018. However, limited playing time led to Barco terminating his contract with Cádiz CF in July 2019. The forward then joined CD Mirandés in the second division on a two-year deal, where he continued to make valuable contributions. After two years, Barco made a move to CD Castellón in the Primera División RFEF in July 2021.
Bengaluru FC’s interest in Mario Barco signifies their commitment to securing talent with experience in European football. The ongoing talks between the Indian club and Inter Kashi suggest a serious intention to bring the Spanish forward on board, yet an agreement on the transfer fee remains pending.
As the negotiations progress, Bengaluru FC fans eagerly await the outcome, hopeful that Mario Barco’s potential arrival will add a new dimension to their attacking lineup.
