Barcelona goalkeeper Iñaki Peña has reportedly decided to reject several domestic offers in favor of a transfer abroad to Central Europe, Turkey, or Greece, leaving the club to resolve the future of Marc-André ter Stegen.

Barcelona Academy graduate Iñaki Peña has decided to seek a future outside of Spain despite holding concrete offers to remain in La Liga.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper, who spent the previous season on loan at Elche, is heavily favoring a move to an overseas club.

Reports indicate his next destination points toward Central Europe, with teams in Greece and Turkey expressing a strong interest.

Peña’s impending departure will clear a significant hurdle for Barcelona, allowing the Catalan hierarchy to narrow their summer focus on the club’s complex goalkeeping layout.

Once his exit is finalized, sporting directors will turn their undivided attention to addressing the future of long-time number one Marc-André ter Stegen, whose status remains the club’s primary remaining dilemma in goal.
