Barcelona to exercise buy-back option for Cucurella Barcelona Won't be at Eibar beyond the summer

Marc Cucurella will be packing his bags at the end of the season in order to rejoin Barcelona from Eibar.

Eibar are expected to trigger the purchase option in his loan deal of around one million euros, but the Catalans have decided that they will then take advantage of a repurchase option to take him back to the Camp Nou for 4m euros.

Cucurella has been one of the standout stars in LaLiga Santander this season after settling into life at Ipurua relatively quickly.

Impressive performances early on against Alaves and Real Madrid grabbed attention from all over Spain and he has delivered consistently since.

The youngster has played 30 games this season, with 28 of those coming in LaLiga Santander, and during these he has contributed with a goal and two assists.

Ernesto Valverde will ultimately have the last word on what lies ahead for the player and he has attracted interest from Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach and AC Milan.
