Inaki Pena likely to leave Barcelona ahead of pre-season preparations

Inaki Pena's tenure at Barcelona is nearing its end as the goalkeeper seeks a summer exit. The 27-year-old has acknowledged he is not part of coach Hansi Flick’s plans and desires to finalize his next move before the team's pre-season training commences on July 13. Despite being under contract until 2029, both Pena and Barcelona appear aligned in pursuing a mutual separation. Recent discussions suggest Barcelona is willing to facilitate his departure, with Pena favoring a transfer abroad, potentially to clubs in Central Europe or Turkey following a previous loan to Galatasaray. His camp is anticipating concrete offers soon, reflecting a preference for a swift resolution.
