Softfootball understands that the move follows an agreement reached in May 2026, with the 21-year-old Argentine midfielder now set to become one of the first additions under new head coach Xabi Alonso.
Capable of operating in central midfield, at left-back, or in more advanced roles, Barco’s versatility is viewed as a major asset as Chelsea continue reshaping their squad ahead of the new campaign.
Chelsea believe Barco’s technical quality, composure in possession and tactical flexibility make him an ideal fit for Alonso’s style of play as the club looks to build a squad capable of competing for major honours.
With official announcements to be made soon and the paperwork now complete, Barco’s arrival represents another significant step in Chelsea’s summer rebuild, with the club expected to remain active in the transfer market before the window closes.
