FC Barcelona and Ajax have agreed to terms regarding the forward Isaac Cuenca. The forward will join Dutch side on loan through June 30 of 2013. The contract does not include a buy option for the Dutch side at the end of the season. Cuenca’s progress following last season’s emergence with the first team was halted because of a knee injury suffered late last season which required surgery. The summer surgery knocked him out of action until recently when he was given the medical green light to return to action back on January 21.
