The future of Iñaki Peña at FC Barcelona is beginning to move away from Camp Nou. The goalkeeper, trained at La Masía since 2012, is seriously considering the possibility of seeking a new destination in the summer after realizing that, despite his effort and patience, he still does not have the full confidence of the coaching staff and sports management.

The ongoing renewal of Wojciech Szczesny, who has already received an offer to extend his contract for another season, has been the latest trigger that has led the Alicante goalkeeper to reconsider his continuity. Hansi Flick's clear commitment to the veteran Polish goalkeeper, even after Ter Stegen's injury, has blurred any real opportunity for Peña to establish himself in goal.

Lack of confidence is driving him away from Barcelona

The German coach had told him that he would be the starter after the German's absence, but the reality has been very different: only a few games as a starter before being relegated back to the bench. According to Marca, this situation has undermined the spirit of a goalkeeper who has always been characterized by his mental strength and professionalism, but who now begins to see clearly that his progression involves leaving Barça.

Peña has a contract until 2026, but the club has already sounded out his willingness for the next transfer window. Although he initially preferred to wait until the end of the season, the current context and the lack of opportunities are tilting the balance towards an exit. With a good reputation in LaLiga and abroad, there will be no shortage of suitors. At Barça, they already see him more outside than inside.
