Iñaki Peña, current player of FC Barcelona, is in the spotlight of two European giants. After a great start to the season, the young Spanish player has gone 6 games without conceding a goal, catching the eye of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

Peña has grown in Barça's youth academy and has excelled on every opportunity he has had in the first team. Despite competing with renowned figures like Marc-André ter Stegen, the Spanish goalkeeper has managed to stand out thanks to his ability to read the game, his reflexes, and his composure under pressure – qualities highly valued in the elite of European football. For PSG, a goalkeeper with these characteristics could be the piece that ensures stability in a key area, especially after certain moments of uncertainty in the goalkeeping position.

Manchester City, on the other hand, sees in Peña a young option with great potential. The team led by Pep Guardiola, who deeply values goalkeepers with good footwork and tactical adaptability, believes Peña fits perfectly with their demands. In City's style of play, a goalkeeper who not only defends but also participates in build-up play from the back is a strategic necessity, and Peña fits that profile.

A dilemma for FC Barcelona.

With a market value of 8 million euros and a contract until the summer of 2026, the signing of the young goalkeeper from La Masia is very affordable. Barcelona needs the money, and a transfer for the Spanish player due to his impressive performances is of great interest to the Blaugrana club.

The board expects a figure close to 30 million euros for the La Masia graduate.
