On Wednesday, it was reported that Villarreal are set to close their third sale of the week – all to Premier League clubs. Jorge Cuenca, who was in Marcelino Garcia Toral’s plans for the new season, is close to joining Fulham, with a fee having been agreed between the two clubs.
As per Sport, Fulham will pay in the region of €6.5m to sign Cuenca. However, only €5.2m will be received by Villarreal, with the remaining €1.3m going to Barcelona.

From 2017 to 2020, Cuenca was on the books of the Catalan giants. He made only two appearances for the first team before he was sold to Villarreal for €2.5m, but as part of that agreement, they retained a 20% sell-on clause, which will now become active.
Every little helps for Barcelona in their bid to raise funds, as they aim to return to La Liga’s 1:1 rule before the end of the summer. This impending €1.3m payment will make a dent, albeit a small one.
