According to Spanish media "Le Marca", 26-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper Peña will leave La Liga. He plans to determine his future within a week and will accept invitations from overseas clubs.
Maca said that Peña will no longer play for Barcelona next season. Peña has made a decision since she lags behind Szczesni in the competition for main goalkeepers last season. Joan Garcia's joining further confirms that the club no longer has expectations for him, although Pena's performance in the first half of the season is remarkable.
Penia is currently planning her career and will leave La Liga. Unless an attractive club presents an olive branch at the last moment, this possibility basically does not exist in the next few days. Penia's intention is to play football overseas. At this stage, he has received several formal invitations and the final decision will be announced soon.
Penia hopes to resolve all matters before Barcelona starts its pre-season training camp. The team is scheduled to gather on the 13th of this month. It is worth noting that Peña and Barcelona have a contract for one year. If the transfer is not completed, he must return to the team as scheduled.
In addition, Peña hopes to participate in the first day of training for the new owner on time. Based on double considerations, his transfer process will be accelerated in the next few days. The amount of the transfer fee will become the focus: Although Szczesni's contract renewal has not been officially announced, Barcelona currently has four goalkeepers, which obviously makes Barcelona lose the advantage of bargaining at the negotiating table.
Penia is 26 years old. In 2012, Peña, who was only 13 years old, came to Barcelona from Villarreal youth training and was promoted to youth teams at all levels. He officially joined Barcelona's first team in 2022, and then loaned Galatasaray for half a season. Since then, he has been playing for Barcelona's first team.
Penia played 45 games for Barcelona's first team, contributing 11 clean sheets and conceding 64 goals; this season, 23 appearances, 7 clean sheets and conceding 25 goals. The current German turnover price of the player is 8 million euros.
