Marc Cucurella will stay at Eibar, says Jose Luis Mendilibar

Eibar coach Jose Luis Mendilibar says he expects Marc Cucurella to stay at the club when his loan expires in the summer.

The 20-year-old joined on a temporary contract last summer, but the deal includes an option to make it permanent.

Mendilibar says he will stay at the club but isn’t so sure about Marc Cardona, who is also on loan from Barcelona but has only managed two La Liga starts.

“There are still 10 games left, but with ‘Cucu’ it is clear. He is playing in a position he had never played before and see how he is playing.
