Barcelona loans winger Cuenca to Ajax

Football February 01, 2013

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona says that young winger Isaac Cuenca has joined Dutch club Ajax on loan until the end of the season.

Barcelona announced the deal just before the end of the winter transfer market on Thursday. The 21-year-old Cuenca had a breakthrough season last year, but he had not played this season after being sidelined with a long-term leg injury until recently.

Barcelona says that the loan agreement does not include the option for Ajax to purchase Cuenca.
