Each body: Barcelona is preparing to renew the contract + rent out of Pena, the agreement includes mandatory buyout clause

According to the Spanish media Daily Sports Daily, Barcelona is preparing to renew the contract + lease Pena, and the agreement includes a mandatory buyout clause.

Penia may be about to end his career as a goalkeeper in Barcelona. The club and the players' team are finalizing a plan to renew their contract for a season, with some economic terms set to be delayed, which is a prerequisite for its departure on loan. The only suspense at the moment is that the player is next home. Penia is evaluating the offer between Como and Celta and needs to make an immediate decision. Peña will decide the future based on the guarantee of playing time and attention. All involved parties are eager to finalize the deal within this week. There are many solutions for Penia's departure. Barcelona initially sought a direct transfer but did not receive a suitable offer, and interested clubs were reluctant to pay transfer fees or pay players' salaries. The club then considered a termination plan, but the economic conditions could not meet the player's requirements, so they finally chose to renew the contract first and then rent out. The agreement included the mandatory buyout clause based on the player's performance.

The most attractive offer for Barcelona comes from Como, who began following Peña about ten days ago. The deal could free up the salary space for Barcelona, but Celta stepped up its pursuit at the last moment, and the gap between the two sides was already small. However, Celta needs to clear the salary space before completing the buzzer-beating signing, which has led to the delay in negotiation progress.

Barca hopes that Peña will leave the team as soon as possible so that Czesny can make a place. Although Penia is not within Frick's plan, he has registered as a first-team goalkeeper. When he played against Mallorca in the first round of the league, Penia went with the team as a substitute goalkeeper. When Joan Garcia had an unexpected situation in warm-up, he was close to making a debut.

Penia won the main position last season during the injury of Ter Stegen. After the club introduced Szczesny as a replacement, the coaching staff finally chose Szczesny. Since January, Peña has completely lost his chance to play and has not even made a debut in the Cup of Rey. His contract with the club was only one year left when he was clearly aware of the need to change the environment.
