Neither Barça nor Celta, Iñaki Peña already has a new team: 'I'm going to the...'

The goalkeeper is fed up with his situation at the club and has already decided on his next destination

Iñaki Peña had his moment to shine when Ter Stegen got injured, but time has proven those right who didn't see it clearly. The youth player has a lot of skill and demonstrated on various occasions that he could cover the position. Unfortunately, his decision-making isn't the best, and this, combined with other factors, has caused him problems.

Barça is recovering satisfactorily from its economic crisis and is already starting to consider options. Looking ahead to the next market, it's more than likely that there will be some additions, which would be key. Meanwhile, there will also be departures; everything points to Iñaki Peña being one of them, and he already knows his destination.

Iñaki Peña and his current situation

The German goalkeeper suffered a serious injury at the beginning of the season against Villarreal, which has kept him off the field until now. From that moment, Iñaki Peña took over the starting position and was expected to do so until the captain's return. Unfortunately for the young youth player, things haven't turned out as expected.

Barça believed it was best to sign another goalkeeper in case Iñaki Peña suffered an injury, but nothing that has happened was expected. Barça brought Szczesny out of retirement and got him back in shape in case it was necessary. Peña was late and arrived late to the pre-match talk, which angered Flick.

As punishment, Hansi benched Iñaki Peña, and from that moment everything changed for the young youth player. He hasn't had minutes since the appearance of Szczesny and now has to find a team that wants him. Celta was very interested in the culé, but it finally seems that his destination will be very different.

Iñaki Peña's new team

Everything points to Iñaki Peña choosing Sevilla as his next destination, a team looking to strengthen its goalkeeping. In fact, several media outlets, such as Relevo, have stated that Peña's departure this summer is a sure thing. Although it won't bring much economic benefit to Barça, it will help free up salary space and make room for another.

Sevilla will be the new home of Iñaki Peña, so Barça will face him on various occasions. Although we can't take anything for granted yet, it's very likely that those from the Ciudad Condal will let their young goalkeeper go.
