Barcelona talent Andres Cuenca nearing move to Como | OneFootball

Como have set their sights on securing one of Spanish football’s most promising defensive prospects, launching an ambitious move for Barcelona youngster Andres Cuenca.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Lariani are working on a deal to sign the 18-year-old center-back immediately, with the intention of having him remain in Catalonia before officially joining Cesc Fabregas’ squad in the summer. The youngster’s current deal at the Nou Camp runs out in the summer.

Cuenca is widely regarded as one of the highest-rated talents in Spain, having already made his senior debut for Barcelona in the Champions League and becoming a pillar of the Spanish youth national teams. Securing a commitment from a player of his pedigree would represent a significant coup for Como, further signaling their intent to build a project centered around elite young talent.

As negotiations continue, the club is simultaneously working on other fronts, including a pursuit of Cruzeiro’s Kaiki, as they look to strengthen the defensive foundations of the team for both the present and the future.
