The Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Jorge Cuenca from Villarreal for an undisclosed fee.
The defender has agreed a four-year deal, keeping him at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2028, with a Club option to extend by a further year.
Cuenca, 24, primarily operates as a left-sided centre-half, but has also lined up at left-back on numerous occasions for Villarreal.
Speaking to FFCtv from the team’s training base in the Algarve, Cuenca said: “I’m really, really happy. I’m so proud to be here. I’m so happy to be here and to play for Fulham.
“The Club is an historical club and Craven Cottage is an historical stadium. I prefer Fulham because of the city, the Club, obviously the historical stadium, and I want to play in the Premier League.”
A multi-million euro move to Villarreal followed two years later, though he went straight on loan to Almeria, whom he helped reach the Segunda División Play-Offs and Copa del Rey Quarter-Finals, where they were narrowly beaten by Sevilla.
