Como are in the market for a goalkeeper and could make a decision within the next few days. After evaluating Kevin Trapp, the latest developments concern Iñaki Peña, born in 1999 and out of contract with Barcelona.

Following Barcelona’s recent moves – including the contract extension of Wojciech Szczesny, the homegrown shot-stopper has asked to leave the club. Two teams, one from Spain and one from Turkey, are already in the mix. However, in a surprise twist, Como have entered the race, with full backing from Cesc Fabregas.

The Spanish coach could prove decisive in securing a deal with Peña and Como are now firmly in the running for the 1999-born keeper. Further developments are expected soon.

Iñaki Peña could leave Barcelona for Como

Peña, 26, signed for the youth system of Barcelona in 2012 at the age of 13. He has remained with the Catalan giants since, aside from a loan spell with Galatasaray in the 2021-22 season.

Last season, for the La Liga side, Peña played 23 games in all competitions – his most in his time at the club, due to a goalkeeping crisis when Marc-Andre Ter Stegen suffered an injury.
