According to SPORT, Inaki Pena’s time at Barcelona appears to be drawing to a close, with the goalkeeper likely to leave the club this summer as a free agent, despite having a contract that runs until 2026. The situation is unexpected, considering the length and terms of his current deal, but it's becoming increasingly evident that Barcelona no longer sees him as part of their future plans.
Earlier in the season, Pena was given a rare opportunity to shine when first-choice keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was sidelined with a long-term injury. For a brief moment, it looked like Pena could cement his place in the starting XI. However, things took a dramatic turn when Hansi Flick handed new signing Wojciech Szczesny his debut. Since then, the Polish international has secured his spot between the posts, and Pena has been left watching from the bench.
