In the coming days, Barcelona can register several players prior to the new LA Liga season that will start next weekend. The departure of Inigo Martinez, in combination with the decision of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to register itself, means that salary space must be used, and more may be made available soon.
There is still a need for outputs in the coming weeks, despite the fact that Barcelona is going in the right direction in the field of registration. And in view of the fact that Hansi Flick Joan Garcia, Wojciech Szczesny and Ter Stegen has for Inaki Pena in the pecking order, the last one is set to leave before the transfer window closes.
Serie A Side Como would be interested in signing Pena to compete for their starting goalkeeper position, but it is now expected to be confronted with competition from a former club of the 26-year-old.
According to Semper Barca, Galatasaray Pena sees an alternative goalkeeper for Ederson from Manchester City. The Turkish giants are willing to make an opening offer of € 8-10 million, which is probably sufficient for Barcelona to do business the fact that the Spaniard has less than 12 months about his current contract.
The report states that Barcelona wants to include a drill-back clause and a future sales percentage in every deal, so that they can maintain control of the future of Pena. This is very logical, given that the Catalans need a new backup goalkeeper in the coming years, given that Szczesny will recover again soon, while it is expected that Ter Stegen will leave.
It is still to be seen where Pena ends at the beginning of September, but it is almost certain that he will not stay as a Barcelona player.
