Iñaki Peña faces a decisive summer in his career after realizing that there is no place for him in Barcelona's plans under Hansi Flick. The young goalkeeper, who had been seeking more prominence for a while now, sees his path at the Blaugrana closing with the presence of Marc-André ter Stegen and Szczesny, along with the arrival of Joan García, leaving him with no room to dream of quality playing minutes.

Faced with this scenario, the exit door is wide open, and the interest of several European teams places his future far from the Camp Nou. Multiple clubs have inquired about the goalkeeper, including Celta de Vigo, Girona, and Como.

Como, the Favorite to Sign Iñaki Peña

Iñaki Peña's name appears in the agendas of different entities, but Como has positioned itself strongly to try to sign him. The Italian club, undergoing a consolidation process in Serie A, believes that adding a goalkeeper with elite experience would be crucial for their growth in the competition. The figure of Cesc Fàbregas, current coach of the Lombard team, has been decisive in making the project appealing to the Barcelona player, who seriously considers the option of moving to Italian football.

Barcelona's sports management does not see the continuity of Iñaki Peña as a priority option. With the goal well covered and other issues in the market, the Catalan entity understands that a definitive departure would benefit all parties. For the goalkeeper, it would mean the opportunity to leave behind his secondary role and take a leap to a club where he could be a key player, while the institution would rid itself of a salary that does not fit into Flick's sporting plans.

Como's project represents an exciting destination for Iñaki Peña. The Italian team aims to settle in the top category after years of sustained growth, and the idea of having a goalkeeper with training in Barcelona's academy is seen as a prestigious reinforcement. Cesc Fàbregas's trust in his abilities and his desire to make him an undisputed starter could be decisive factors for the player to embark on a new adventure away from Spain.

Sportingly, Serie A would be a demanding yet stimulating challenge for Iñaki Peña. The Italian championship is known for its tactical rigor and the importance of defensive work, allowing the goalkeeper to showcase his skills in a competitive top-level environment. At just 26 years old, he has room to continue growing and prove that he can become a reference goalkeeper if he finds playing continuity.

The outcome of the operation will depend on the discussions between Barcelona and Como in the coming weeks. The positions seem aligned, and everything points to Iñaki Peña accepting the Italian proposal. If confirmed, it would be a new chapter for a goalkeeper looking to solidify his professional career and for a club trusting that his signing is another step towards stability in Serie A.
