The ex-president prioritizes the Barko family over the contract

Andrey Chervichenko, the former president of Moscow's "Spartak" football club, commented on the situation regarding the Argentine midfielder Esekiel Barko of the "red-whites." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Earlier, media outlets reported that Barko's wife had given him an ultimatum: he must either return to South America or decide to divorce. According to Chervichenko, he does not have specific information about Barko's family situation, but if his family is strong and they recently welcomed children, the player is not ready to leave "Spartak" for his family and children.

He also emphasized that all Latin American players eventually aspire to Southern Europe, particularly Spain or Italy. Currently, Barko's contract with "Spartak" is set to last until June 30, 2027.

His transfer value is estimated to be around 14 million euros. This information is crucial for determining the player's future and his position in the team.
