FC Barcelona continues planning for the season that has just begun. Initially, no further signings are planned, but some departures are still necessary. Taking advantage of the current situation, Girona has entered the equation, ready to immediately take one of Flick's most talked-about discards.
The campaign hasn't started well at all for Girona, especially in goal, where the feelings haven't been positive. In its debut against Rayo, it conceded three goals, in a match marked by Gazzaniga's poor performance. The Argentine continues to show inconsistent form, but last Friday's events left a very bad taste: penalty conceded, sent off, and grumbling from the fans.
Iñaki Peña changes destination
Although it seemed he was really close to Como, everything could change for the Alicante native Iñaki Peña. "Fichajes.net" has revealed that Girona has shown interest in the last few hours in signing him. There, they offer him the chance to feel like a protagonist again by playing in Spain. That's what he needs at 26 and what he's looking for, trying to feel important in a complicated position.
From Barça, given the difficulty of finding him a new destination through a transfer, an alternative is being considered. The rumors of recent days point to a contract renewal until 2027, for one more year, trying to increase his value with a loan.
Girona has opened its doors wide for him. In fact, Peña has already made inquiries inside Barça's locker room. One of the players most in favor of this move is Eric García, who has a past with the Catalan team. A loan there completely changed his career, and he has recommended Peña take the same path he took two years ago.
Not only Iñaki Peña
In this regard, "Madrid-Barcelona" has learned that Girona is interested in not only Iñaki Peña. The Catalans have set their sights on another Barça player, trying to strengthen a squad that has left very bad impressions.
Specifically, we're talking about Oriol Romeu, who was on loan there last season. He has agreed to terminate his contract with Barcelona, so he could leave for free. In any case, everything depends on him finding a team and the salary he will have there.
It's not being easy, but Hansi Flick is clear that he doesn't count on him.
