Brighton and Hove Albion borrowed Valentin Barcu He returned home Tuesday night to find his home ransacked and robbed. His colleague Yaz Jaureguy posted footage of the event online.
Currently at Sevilla, Barco arrived in the summer and after a promising initial start, the Argentine fell out of the squad, with talk that he could leave in the winter transfer window. An event that threatens his safety and the privacy of his own home will not help his adaptation to life in La Liga.
“Arriving at your home and finding it ransacked like this. You come to a country full of excitement and you can't relax… Too strange, you don't even trust your shadow,” wrote Jaureguy on his social networks, as mentioned by Marco.

“Two men entered the house next door, spent 50 minutes in the house and left 10 minutes before arriving… The strange thing is that only one employee knew our movements during those hours, which was the only point of entry and left. 7 minutes before entering,” he continued.
It is not yet clear what was taken or how much was stolen, but it is certainly an ugly event, just a week after Barco proposed to Jareguy in Plaza Espana in Seville.
