Sevilla tracking the situation of 26-year-old Barcelona player – Report | OneFootball

While Hansi Flick has kept true to his selection preferences for most part of the team throughout his first season at FC Barcelona, the goalkeeper position has been one area of the team that has experienced a lot of twists and turns.

Marc Andre Ter Stegen started the season as the starting goalkeeper for the Catalan team but suffered a serious injury only a few weeks into the season, and is expected to remain on the sidelines for several more weeks despite his rapid recovery in the last few months.

Inaki Pena got the starting position in the first few months after his injury, but the La Masia graduate lost this starting position to Wojciech Szczesny at the start of this year. Since then, the Pole has been the clear starter for Flick in all competitions.

Although the exact reasons remain hidden, it is clear that Pena no longer enjoys the trust of the Barcelona head coach, and he is not likely to get back into the starting lineup any time soon, especially with Ter Stegen also likely to return to action in the coming weeks.

As a result, his future at the Blaugrana club is also subject to a lot of uncertainty, as the 25-year-old shot-stopper wants to join a team where he can be an important player and prove his skills.

Luckily, he is not short on options, as several clubs have already shown an interest in him. According to Fichajes, one such side is the La Liga club, Sevilla, as the Andalusians are closely following his situation and want to strengthen their team with the addition of a new shot-stopper.

Meanwhile, this would also be an interesting option for Pena, as he will get the opportunity to relaunch his career with a notable club in Spain. Still, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future at Barcelona, it remains to be seen how things develop and where he will be playing next season.
