Barcelona goalkeeper Inaki Pena waits the entire summer at the starting door, but remains unable to complete a relocation of the Catalan giants. After manager Hansi Flick Pena dropped for Wojciech Szczesny last season last season, his future ended effectively at the club.
After he had not committed any big mistakes, Pena felt hard when Flick chose to go with Szczesny, who made various controversial mistakes when they were introduced. It was a decision that Pena's decided to look for meadows new.
One of the main reasons why Pena has not yet moved is the registration situation of Barcelona. With Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Joan Garcia and Szczesny who still have to be registered, Pena remains the only fit senior goalkeeper who is on Saturday with their debut in La Liga. Until Garcia and Szczesny are registered, the Barcelona sports report will not take the risk of leaving itself exposed without a senior option.
It can be expensive for Pena. According to MD, Joan Gamper Trophy opponents Como made an official approach for PENA this weekend. They are interested in the 26-year-old to compete for the number one place, but given the delays, Sport say they are now considering alternative options.
Nothing but Pena's former competition in Barca Atletic, Arnau tenas. Another graduate in La Masia, he is looking for regular minutes than at Paris Saint-Germain, who has just signed Lucas Chevalier. The two are already talking about a movement.
Pena has had a curious process in Barcelona. Emerging as one of the stars of the academy and a penalty specialist, he enjoyed a strong loan spell in Galatasaray before he returned as the backup of Ter Stegen. Two seasons ago, his enchantment did not convince for the German, but last year he performed reasonably well, and especially in El Clasico. The doubts, however, created the previous year, combined with his reserved character, seem to have contributed to his inability to beat Szczesny for that role.
