The future of Iñaki Peña seems sealed at FC Barcelona, and not precisely with an outcome that benefits the club's coffers. Despite the Alicante goalkeeper being under contract with the Blaugrana until June 30, 2026, everything indicates that he will head towards another destination this summer without leaving a single euro in the bank.

As revealed by the newspaper Sport, the club's intention was to receive financial compensation for his departure. However, reality points in another direction: Peña will depart as a free agent. This situation represents a setback for the sports and financial planning of the club, as the goalkeeper still had one more year on his contract, and his departure, without a transfer, implies the loss of a potential income opportunity.

No place in Flick's Barça

The coaching staff, now led by Hansi Flick, has made a clear decision regarding the goalkeeping position. Marc-André ter Stegen will continue as the owner of the Barça goal, while the chosen backup goalkeeper will be the experienced Wojciech Szczesny. In this context, Iñaki Peña is completely out of the club's sports plans.

Furthermore, from the offices of Barça, efforts are already underway to find a future replacement that may arise from La Masía or come from the market. Thus, with the exit door wide open and no signs of renewal or sale, the goalkeeper bids farewell to the Camp Nou without bringing any benefit to the institution that shaped him.
