Barcelona are going through a difficult period right now, especially with regard to the future of certain players at La Masia.
The club have been rocked by Pedro Fernandez Dro’s decision to leave the club, with the youngster closing in on a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
This is coupled with the fact that defensive prodigy Mamadou Mbacke is also set to leave, in favour of a move to MLS.
Now, it appears Barça are bracing themselves for yet another raid, this time from Como, who are interested in acquiring the services of one of La Masia‘s brightest defensive prospects.
Como eyeing a move for Andres Cuenca
According to Mundo Deportivo, Como are among the clubs interested in Cuenca and are closely monitoring his progress in La Masia.
Como’s head coach, Cesc Fabregas, being a product of La Masia himself, has done a superb job in nurturing young players in the Italian team.

He has played a significant role in the breakthrough of Nico Paz and Jacobo Ramon, both of whom are set for a return to Real Madrid next summer.
Although AC Milan are also interested in the services of Cuenca, Como are looking to get ahead in the race through Fabregas.
The former midfielder has an excellent relationship with Barcelona and could play a crucial role in transfer negotiations.
Cuenca, for his part, could welcome a change of scenery, having yet to make a single appearance for the Barcelona first-team since making his debut in the Champions League last season.
However, it remains to be seen if Barcelona consider the sale of Cuenca, especially with Mbacke also set for a move away from Catalonia this January.
