Jorge Cuenca to become new Fulham player 724g6u
The center-back arrives after a standout season with Villarreal, where he was a key player under the guidance of Marcelino García Toral. Last season, Cuenca featured in 37 matches across all competitions, contributing with a goal and an assist. His defensive solidity and ability to initiate plays from the back make him a valuable addition for Fulham, who aim to strengthen their defensive line for the season.
With Cuenca's departure, Villarreal loses a crucial player, adding to the imminent exit of Sorloth to Atlético de Madrid. These departures will force Marcelino to reconfigure his squad to maintain competitiveness in LaLiga and European competitions.
Jorge Cuenca's arrival at Fulham reflects the London club's ambition to bolster its ranks with young and promising talent. Fulham fans hope that Cuenca will bring stability and quality to the defense, and they trust that his adaptation to the Premier League will be quick and effective. This strategic move by Fulham underscores their goal of establishing themselves in the top tier of English football and competing at the highest level.
