Andrés Cuenca extended his Barcelona contract until June 30, 2027 and will join Sporting Gijón on loan until June 30, 2026.
One such operation involves the impending departure of young defender Andres Cuenca. A talented prospect from La Masia, the 18-year-old starlet made his first-team debut for Barcelona last season and has played regularly for Barça Atletic under Juliano Belletti. However, with his contract expiring at the end of the season, Cuenca is all set to move on from his boyhood club in the coming days.
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.
