Will there be a possible departure of Iñaki Peña from FC Barcelona this summer? At the moment, it is not known, but everything indicates that the Alicante goalkeeper could positively consider leaving the culé club in order to get more playing time, something that is not guaranteed at Barça

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona now has in his list of pending tasks for the season 2024/25 reinforce the goal, especially the role of second guardameta, at present occupied by Iñaki Crag. Nevertheless, this situation could suffer a big dump of face to the next course.

As we comment the past Monday here in 'FCBN', the cancerbero Alicante is not satisfied with his paper like second goalkeeper, by what is considering the option to go out in this market of summer. This leaves to the picture culé with two possible stages: examine to his players of quarry and promote to a goalkeeper, in this case, everything seems to indicate that it would be Ander Astralaga, or look for in the market an alternative 'low cost' and of greater experience so that it occupy the place of 'backup' of the historical Marc-André ter Stegen.

Deco Gathered with the agent of Iñaki Crag

Now, the rumours on the exit of Iñaki Crag earn even more forces, since as it informed through 'Jijantes', pódcast of Twitch driven by the journalist Gerard Romero, this Tuesday carried out a meeting between the sportive director of the Barça, Deco, and the agent of the player, Javier Garrido. The aim of said 'summit' would have been to argue the future of the guardameta and find a solution to his fault of minutes after the turn of the '1' culé after his injury.

The desazón of the Alicante could be due to that, after a series of 17 consecutive commitments playing with the club culé, Ter Stegen recovered the titularity in the clash of the day 24 of LaLiga against the Granada CF the past 11 February. Since, Iñaki Crag has been acting in 12 successive meetings, since the germano has showed to have gone back to a level 'top', what complicates the options to see minutes by part of the '13' culé.

In this context, the Alicante, the one who in the past expressed his wish to be headline in the team: "All want to be headlines and train with this aim. If you conform you being the second goalkeeper, finish not being neither the second goalkeeper. Are which is now my role in this team; if in the future I can be the indisputable headline, better". With a good age (25) and big provision to level of game, as it has showed in his apparitions with the combined Catalan, Iñaki Crag could be looking for a new destination futbolístico. In this case, would not be missing him beaux, what could benefit to the FC Barcelona in economic terms, since they could try do box with a player whose value of market, as 'Transfermarkt', positions in eight million euros.
