Barcelona forward Isaac Cuenca, on loan at Ajax, wants to stay for another season at the Eredivisie side. 

The 22-year-old was loaned to the Dutch league leaders on January’s transfer deadline day for the remainder of the season. Earlier, he missed the first half of the campaign with the Catalan giants nursing a knee injury.
"I want to stay another year at Ajax", the Spanish footballer told Dutch daily De Telegraaf. 

"Barcelona know what I want and the two clubs are negotiating. Since the relationships are good, I feel I’ll stay." 

Cuenca is struggling to make his mark in the game after being plagued by injuries this season. He has made just three league appearances so far with Ajax, the last one being in the 2-0 win against NAC Breda on Saturday, where he came on as a 81st minute substitute. 

"Because of my injury I cannot play much, but next season I want to be important. I have fun at Ajax, feel comfortable and their style of play resembles that of Barca. 

“I think it’s good for my development for another year under Frank de Boer to train and play." 

Cuenca, in contrast, made 16 appearances with Barcelona in La Liga last season. 

He has a contract with the Spanish league leaders until June 2015.
