Barco extends in Strasbourg the women's team renews Risser à Lens

The Racing Club of Strasbourg Alsace secured Valentin Barco’s future by lifting the option of his Brighton & Hove Albion loan. The 20-year-old Argentine international signed a four-year contract until June 2029. Arrived in January, Barco quickly established himself as a key player, participating in 15 matches all over the competition. Its dynamism, versatility on the left and its potential seduced the staff and supporters, making it a major asset for the club. This decision reflects the long-term development of the sports leadership, which wants to build on the talents of this generation.

At the same time, the Racing women’s team has undergone an important renewal of its staff. After extending the contracts of eleven players and recruiting three new heads, the club recorded the departures of 14 players after their contracts on 30 June 2025. Players leaving the CBCN include goaltenders, defenders, fieldmen and attackers, whose names are listed in the text. This massive departure is part of a policy of renewal of the female workforce, aimed at ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of the team.

Finally, goaltender Robin Risser should join RC Lens. After running out of play time in Strasbourg, he made a loan to Red Star FC last season. Although he was still linked to the Alsatian club until 2027 and was included in the group des Espoirs, several Ligue 1 clubs, including Nice, Brest, Saint-Étienne and Rennes, were interested in his profile. However, RC Lens seems to have won the race, having reached an agreement with the 20-year-old. This signature represents a significant strengthening for the Lédonian club.
