A verbal agreement has now been reached, according to Fabrizio Romano, with Barcelona keen to insert a sell-on clause of over 20%.
The plan is for Como to sign Cuenca permanently and then send him out on loan. Cuenca’s contract at Barcelona is due to expire at the end of the season.
Cuenca made his first-team debut for Barcelona in October 2024 but hasn’t been able to really kick on from there and now looks set for a new challenge in Serie A with Cesca Fabregas’s side.
He looks like being one of several departures from Juliano Belletti’s Barcelona Atletic side this winter, with Dani Rodriguez and Mamadou Mbacke Fall also set to move on.
