Jorge Cuenca

Jorge Cuenca Barreno (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxoɾxe ˈkweŋka]; born 17 November 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back or left-back for Premier League club Fulham.

Born in Madrid, Cuenca joined Alcorcón's youth setup in 2015. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 12 February 2017, starting in a 1–0 Tercera División home win against FC Villanueva del Pardillo.

Cuenca played his first professional match on 10 March 2017, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Elche in the Segunda División. At the age of 17 years and 114 days, he became the youngest player to debut for the club.

On 18 July 2017 Cuenca signed a two-year contract with Barcelona's reserve team Barcelona B, still in the second division, for a fee of €400,000. He featured sparingly for the side during his first season, which ended in relegation.

On 20 October 2018, Cuenca scored his first goal for the club, netting a last-minute equaliser for Barça B in a 1–1 home draw against Villarreal B in the Segunda División B. Eleven days later he made his first-team debut, starting in a 1–0 away success over Cultural Leonesa in the 2018–19 Copa del Rey.

On 15 February 2019, Cuenca renewed his contract with the Catalans until 2021. On 1 September 2019, Cuenca scored the first official goal at the Johan Cruyff Stadium, receiving a commemorative plate.

On 22 September 2020, Barcelona and Villarreal reached an agreement for the transfer of Cuenca, for a fee of €2.5 million plus €4 million in variables; Barça also retained 20% over a future sale. He agreed to a five-year contract with the club, but was immediately loaned to Almería of the second division for a year.

Cuenca scored his first professional goal on 8 November 2020, netting the game's only in an away success over Rayo Vallecano. A regular starter for the Andalusians during the campaign, he scored three times as his side missed out promotion in the play-offs.
