Frenkie de Jong, Eric Garcia and Ansu Fati were mentioned as possible departures, and another name could be added to this list. Last September, FC Barcelona was shaken by the news that the number one goalkeeper and captain of the Marc-André Ter Stegen club was seriously injured in the knee during a match against Villarreal. He should miss the rest of the season, and for this reason, the decision was made to sign an immediate replacement, who turned out to be the former star of Arsenal and Juventus Wojciech Szczesny.

Despite the arrival of Szczesny, the replacement for Ter Stegen, Inaki Pena, took over as number one in the months following the German injury. He has impressed, but in recent weeks he has lost his place in favor of Szczesny, despite the fact that he was solid in the goals of FC Barcelona without making significant mistakes.

Pena pushed outside

This decision frustrated Pena, who contacted coach Hansi Flick earlier this week to discuss the situation. However, the two men had a conversation ” stretched According to Sport, and as such, the Spanish goalkeeper would now consider his future far from Barcelona.

The possible departure of Pena would normally mean that a replacement is necessary to serve as a lining to Ter Stegen, since Szczesny is only under contract until the end of the season. However, recent reports have suggested that the Pole could be granted an extension of one year by Barcelona.
