Hugo Cuenca, the Milan Futuro starlet, is reportedly just one step away from joining Genoa on a permanent basis. An offer has been tabled by the Rossoblu, with only AC Milan’s response now needed.
Cuenca took the step up to the Futuro side this season, having done really well for the Primavera last season, and there was cautious optimism that he would be important for Daniele Bonera’s side. However, as a result of a muscle injury, that hasn’t been the case.
The Paraguayan played the first ten games before getting injured, scoring zero goals in the process, and now his contract will expire in the summer. A renewal is not on the cards, as per Matteo Moretto, and that’s why Milan are willing to part ways with him this transfer window.
Genoa have now tabled an official offer, per the journalist, and it’s believed that Milan would get % on a future resale. Luca Bendoni has added that the future resale clause should be around 30%, which would be a good deal for the Rossoneri.
Obviously, this is all assuming that a renewal is definitely off the table, as 30% from a future sale is certainly better than zero.
In the words of the fanbase on this site….sell sell sell
Ammi right boys? /s
Let him go for free or sell? You don’t need to be a so-called Sporting Director to answer that, now do you?
when he arrived there was a lot of hype around him? he actually shone during the preseason some time ago? the only news we hear now is him being sold. we have not seen any Primavera player come through the ranks since Calabria- who has been sold off now.
Excellent player. He has incredible flair. Bonera has really screwed up the development of these boys. It would be better to send Bonera away, not Cuenca and we also need a coach who is brave enough to give these boys a chance. This has always been a problem with Serie A coaches. Ironically it’s Allegri who is more open to playing youngsters than other Italian coaches.
Is it just me, or Milan’s management now find a way to “sell” players just by inserting future sale clause? Other example is Maldini Jr. I see it is more like showing their incompetence to sell players in “normal way”. I am not 100% satisfied, but maybe it is better than letting players go for totally free like Hakan, Donnarumma or Kessie.
