La Liga
Iñaki Peña has gone from being one of Barcelona's bet under the goalposts to being relegated to obscurity under the direction of Hansi Flick. The goalkeeper started the season with the trust of the coaching staff, but in recent weeks has completely disappeared from the German coach's plans. His absence in the squad lists has generated uncertainty, and everything points to his future at the Blaugrana club being at risk.
Iñaki Peña, on the way out
The turning point in the goalkeeper's situation came after what seemed like a minor incident: a delay in a training session. Although the club has not provided official explanations for his loss of prominence, this incident appears to have marked a before and after in his relationship with Flick. Beyond the lack of minutes, the feeling in the Barcelona environment is that the issue may hide deeper reasons that have not yet come to light.
Despite his quality and his role as an alternative in goal, the German coach has shown no intention of reintroducing him into the rotation. This has led to various sources pointing to a possible departure in the upcoming transfer market, as Peña is unwilling to go through a whole season without opportunities. Several teams have taken note of his situation and may try to sign him if Barcelona allows him to leave.
The outcome of this case will depend on how the relationship between the goalkeeper and the coach evolves in the coming months. However, the lack of explanations and his disappearance from Flick's plans make his continuity at the club increasingly uncertain.
