CM: Milan beat Barcelona to Paraguay starlet – he is already training with the first team

By Oliver Fisher -

Hugo Cuenca is a name that many AC Milan fans might not be familiar with, but he is a player that the management have great hope for in the future.

Calciomercato.com report that the 17-year-old Cuenca is considered by several insiders as one of the biggest prospects in South American football, and Milan managed to snatch him from the competition of some big Spanish clubs, with Barcelona chief among them.

The Rossoneri tried to sign him both in the last summer transfer window and in January, but for bureaucratic issues related to obtaining a Spanish passport the deal was put on hold, but it now seems to be over the line.

Oscar Barreto, the vice president of his hometown club in Paraguay Deportivo Capiatà, spoke to the radio station Universo970 and gave some insight: “Hugo Cuenca is currently training with Milan’s first team. It is a contract in stages and we will collect a hefty sum for 100% of federal rights and 90% of economic ones.”

After months of acclimatisation in the U18 side and the four appearances collected at the Viareggio Tournament, for Cuenca his new adventure with the Milan shirt is now beginning. He is certainly a name to be followed with great attention in the Primavera, which will be coached by Ignazio Abate.

  1. He will need play time to proof he have hot prospect. Loan him to small club in serie A after his age 18 are better choice

  2. Chaka Traore and Cuenca..

    This management is really looking forward to the future. Specially chaka.. insane player. He is one of the reasons Milan can actually think about letting Leao go for 120mil.

  3. Well done to Monacda and his team.

    It’s a farce Barcelona can sign ANYONE since they can’t handle paying for what they have. They should of had a signing embargo on ALL player’s.
    UEFALONA indeed, corrupt SOB’s!

  4. I just hope Pioli will have the balls to promote some youngsters… maybe we have a new messi.. but i wouldn’t put my hopes up.. look at roback.. he never had a chanse for the first team

    1. Have you been watching Milan? We’re LITERALLY ONE OF THE YOUNGEST TEAM IN THE EUROPE YOU MORON, and that’s WITH GIROUD AND IBRA.

      It is VERY annoying seeing these Championship Managers wannabe who just thought we could just promote everyone.
