Isaac Cuenca - Barcelona
Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta is confident that attacker Isaac Cuenca will sign a contract extension in the not too distant future.
The Spain Under-21 international has an expiring deal at Camp Nou, and clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are believed to be closely monitoring Cuenca's situation.
Nevertheless, Barcelona are not afraid that the youngster will leave the club this summer and expect Cuenca to sign a new deal shortly.
"We will complete Cuenca's renewal shortly," Zubizarreta said in an interview with Catalunya Radio.
The 20-year-old Cuenca made his official first team debut at Barcelona in October 2011, and has since become a regular in head coach Pep Guardiola's squad.
