"The 18-year-old centre-back, who has been a regular figure for Barça Atletic, is set to move on this month with his contract at Barcelona due to expire at the end of the season. As previously reported, Cuenca is on the verge of joining Como 1907, with negotiations now at an advanced stage. While the young defender had multiple offers from different clubs across Europe, all signs currently point towards the Serie A side winning the race for his signature."
"Barcelona were aware that retaining him beyond this season would be difficult, especially given the competition for defensive places and the player's desire for a clearer pathway at senior level. With his contract running down, Como see this as an opportunity to secure a high-upside talent before he becomes available elsewhere. The Italian club is keen to sign Cuenca immediately. However, the plan is not for the defender to step straight into Serie A action."
Andres Cuenca, an 18-year-old centre-back and regular for Barça Atletic, is expected to depart Barcelona as his contract expires at season's end. Como 1907 have advanced negotiations and appear most likely to secure his signature despite multiple offers from across Europe. The deal is close, with only final details remaining. Como plan to sign Cuenca now but not insert him directly into Serie A; instead they intend to loan him out for the remainder of the season so he can gain regular competitive minutes. Sporting Gijon has emerged as a serious loan option in Spain before a permanent move to Italy.
