Como Secures Andres Cuenca’s Transfer, Blaugrana Loses Another Young Talent

Gilabola.com – Como and Barcelona managed to reach an agreement on the transfer of 18 year old young defender, Andres Cuenca, in the transfer market this January.

Cuenca is known as a young player who graduated from La Masia. At only 18 years old, he made his debut in the Barcelona first team last season, and has even played regularly for Juliano Belletti’s Barca Atletic.

However, with his contract expiring at the end of this season, Cuenca is ready to leave his childhood club in the coming days.

Reached Agreement with Como

Revealed World of Sportsin fact, the agreement between Barcelona and Como 1907 for Cuenca was considered a foregone conclusion.

As previously reported, Barca will not accept a transfer fee for the teenage defender, but maintains Cuenca’s future resale clause at 20 percent.

Now, the agreement between the two clubs is considered certain. However, Cuenca will not play for Como in the second half of the season.

The idea is for the 18 year old young player to get regular playing time in the first team and in a competitive environment, after he completes his move to Como this month.

The final destination will be confirmed once the remaining details between the three parties involved are resolved.
