Barcelona youngster Cucurella a step away from Eibar loan
The left back is poised for a loan spell in the top flight with the Basque minnows
Marc Cucurella will play in La Liga. The left-back is about to move on loan to Eibar from Barcelona.
The La Masia youngster was wanted at the start of the summer but Barcelona asked him not to accept any offers until later on, as they worked out who would replace Lucas Digne In the end they decided it would be Miranda and the club opted for a loan to Eibar to allow Cucu to keep growing.
Eibar's offer was not the only one. Bundesliga clubs also wanted him but in the end the Basques got him. The deal still needs to be signed as an option to buy is being discussed. Barcelona don't want to lose him completely so they will install a re-buy option.
