On 2 September 2020, Barreal signed for Major League Soccer side FC Cincinnati.[5] He signed a three-year contract with a club option for a fourth year.[6] Reports out of Argentina listed the transfer fee in the range of $1.5 to 1.7 million for 75 percent of the player's rights, with Vélez Sarsfield retaining 25 percent of any future sale. Also noted was the potential of $250,000 additional for a set number of appearances.[7][8][9] Barreal made his debut on 7 October in a 3–0 defeat away to the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park, having replaced Frankie Amaya early in the second half.[1] Four further appearances, all as a starter, arrived in his first season with the American club.[1]

International career

Barreal represented the Argentina U20s at the 2018 COTIF Tournament in Spain.[10][11] He scored two goals in five games, as Argentina won the tournament.[12][13][14][15][16]
