Barcelona has been criticized in recent years because of their ability to raise money on the transfer market, with a number of players who leave cheaply, according to the perception. It seems that another of their La Masia talents will leave without helping them a lot with their salary limit this summer.
The output of goalkeeper Inaki Pena has been adopted for some time. In January, director of Football Deco opened conversations with his camp about a new deal, as a reward for his performances after an injury to Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The decision of Hansi Flick to make Wojciech Szczesny, stopped the negotiations of Onee, and now it seems to have decided Pena to leave this summer. With Szczesny and Ter Stegen for him in the pecking order, the chances of Pena will be limited.
The will of Real Betis, Celta Vigo and former Galatasaray loan club have all shown interest in Pena, who no longer has a contract in 2026. Although he was probably always available at a Price deal, Sport says that Barcelona has given up the hope of receiving a transfer costs for Pena, and will enable him to go for free in the summer.
Although the situation of Pena is difficult, the direct comparison is, as always with Real Madrid. Los Blancos was in a similar situation with Andriy Lunin and managed to convince him to sign a new five -year -old deal with the club, even though he was aware that he would probably leave for new opportunities this summer. Los Blancos now hopes to receive more than € 20 million somewhere for the Ukrainian, which is as old as Pena.
Although the lunin cachet is clearly higher after a strong run in La Liga and the Champions League last season, Pena herself came to Real Madrid with very impressive rescues in the previous two Clasicos.
