Iñaki Peña, close to becoming a Como player

The future of Iñaki Peña would be close to being resolved, since Como 1907 of Serie A is negotiating with FC Barcelona for his arrival on Italian soil in this market. Thus, the Alicante goalkeeper would arrive at the team led by Cesc Fàbregas, against whom the Joan Gamper Trophy was also played.

It is worth remembering that the '13' is one of the two goalkeepers registered in the first team of the Blaugrana team, and the club had chosen to retain him until Wojciech Szczęsny's registration was finalized. However, with less than 15 days left before the close of the summer market, his departure seems to be accelerating, according to recent information.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper wants to resolve his departure as soon as possible in order to choose a destination with margin and tranquility. In this context, Barça is moving against the clock so that all the pieces fit in the coming days and the operation can be unblocked.

Iñaki Peña will renew with Barça before leaving

In this sense, Iñaki Peña will extend his contract, which expires in 2026, for one more season, a condition of Barça to allow him to leave. Likewise, his departure could be finalized before Wednesday (August 20).

In addition, the 'Larian' team is confident that it is the best positioned to get the goalkeeper out of the Catalan team. The goalkeeper is liked by Fàbregas, who values ​​his good game with the ball at his feet.

During the negotiations, Como has made it clear that it is not willing to pay a transfer fee for the player. The Italian club is only considering the option of a loan with a non-mandatory purchase option, assuming a significant part of the salary as a condition to close the agreement.

The same scenario would have been raised by Celta de Vigo. However, the 'Larians' are bidding harder for the '13' and he, apparently, is more convinced by the sports project of the Italians.

Szczęsny's registration, a way to facilitate Iñaki Peña's departure

Barcelona wants to register Szczęsny in LaLiga precisely with the departure of Peña. The club is in contact with the employers to finalize both movements. For now, everything would be going in the best way for the operations to be completed.

From Barça they hope that the goalkeeper will stand out in Como so that they choose to buy his rights, since, despite the fact that he will renew, he is not in the future plans of the Blaugrana team. Iñaki currently has a value of 8 million euros, according to Transfermarkt.

So things for Iñaki Peña, who is also interested in leaving Barça, in his intention to have serious possibilities of becoming the starting goalkeeper of some team.
