In recent months, Barcelona sporting director Deco has been working on contract extensions. Gavi, Pedri and Ronald Araujo are among others in talks with the club, and Inaki Pena should be another player soon.
Barcelona officials have been very impressed with Pena since he took over the starting goalkeeper position following Marc-André Ter Stegen's serious knee injury, as he managed to hold the position ahead of Wojciech Szczesny.
As such, discussions on a new contract will begin soon, MD said. Hansi Flick has also given his approval for the talks that will take place soon, as he is among those who are very satisfied with the level shown by the 25-year-old goalkeeper.
It will be very interesting to see what Barcelona's goalkeeping situation is like when Ter Stegen returns from injury. Pena has shown himself to be a more than capable option, even if he may not be able to keep the position.
