Iñaki Peña is trying to make the most of his experience on loan at Galatasaray and has already won himself a suitor for next season. It is Celta Vigo, for whom Luis Campos is drawing up winning plans to put the spectre of relegation behind him once and for all.
'AS' reports that the technical secretary is delighted with the goalkeeper's performances in Turkey, where he has made eight appearances so far. He came up against his parent club Barça in the Europa League. He conceded two goals, both in the first leg, which saw Xavi's side progress to the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated by Eintracht Frankfurt.
Looking ahead to next season, the idea of the 'Cule' coaching staff was that Peña would return to play as second goalkeeper behind Ter Stegen. This clashes head-on with the Galician interests, who have the great advantage of offering the player a much more important position than the one he would hold at Barcelona.
At 23 years of age, the goalkeeper has yet to enjoy continuity in the elite. For the time being, he has always been linked with the Barcelona youth team and may be keen to move on from this early stage of his career as soon as possible in order to finally shape his own path. His contract at Camp Nou, incidentally, runs out in 2023.
