"According to Fabrizio Romano, Como are closing in on a deal to sign Andres Cuenca from Barcelona this month. The Italian outfit, managed by Cesc Fabregas, have already reached verbal agreement, with Cuenca likely to join the team on a permanent deal. However, the youngster will be immediately loaned out so that he can receive regular game time at the highest level of football."
"Barcelona, for their part, are not completely letting go of Cuenca. The Catalans are expected to retain a 20% sell-on clause on the defender's contract. That means the club can either re-sign Cuenca on a 20% discount in the process or be entitled to 20% of the player's deal value to any other potential club. The clause will expire if, in the future, the player decides to leave Como on a free transfer, with Barcelona not receiving a single penny."
Barcelona have already lost Pedro Fernandez Dro and now face the imminent exit of 18-year-old defender Andres Cuenca, a top La Masia prospect. Como have approached Cuenca and reached a verbal agreement to sign him this month. The Italian club, managed by Cesc Fabregas, expect to complete a permanent deal and loan the youngster immediately so he can receive regular first-team minutes. Barcelona will retain a 20% sell-on clause on Cuenca's contract, allowing re-signing on a 20% discount or entitlement to 20% of any future transfer fee. The clause voids if Cuenca leaves Como on a free transfer. Cuenca's departure represents a significant sporting loss for La Masia amid a wider youth exodus.
