Negotiations between Como and Barcelona`s goalkeeper Iñaki Peña commenced on August 6, but the final decision rests with the Italian club. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo and another Spanish team remain attentive to the situation.
Pena is reportedly keen on a transfer to Serie A, having been advised by Barcelona to seek opportunities elsewhere due to limited playing time at Camp Nou and his contract nearing its expiration.
Pena`s Future Hinges on Como`s Decision
The central issue for Como is whether acquiring Iñaki Peña would impact the performance of their current goalkeeper, Jean Butez, a factor they are still weighing.
While the ball is in Como`s court, time is of the essence, as Celta Vigo and an unnamed Spanish club are poised to make their moves if the Italian side delays.
Pena continues to hold out hope that Cesc Fàbregas will facilitate his transfer to Italy for this anticipated new chapter in his career.
The Barcelona academy graduate is no stranger to playing abroad, having previously spent a six-month loan spell at Galatasaray in 2022.
