Barcelona's goalkeeping unit has expanded, as the club are hoping to register Joan Garcia in the coming days for La Liga. 

The club has also extended Wojciech Szczęsny's contract, and somehow Marc-Andre ter Stegen is still on Barcelona's payroll, despite the disputes between the two sides. 

Now, the Catalan club might be preparing for an exit of another goalkeeper. 

Which goalkeeper could be leaving Barcelona?

According to journalist Alfredo PedullaIñaki Peña is being sought out by Como and several other clubs. 

Peña's contract runs out in 2026, but his role appears to be diminishing with Garcia's arrival and Szczęsny's extension.

Former Barcelona player and current Como coach Cesc Fabregas has given his approval of Peña. 

Peña started in Barcelona's youth system and has been with the La Liga side, apart from a season long loan to Galatasary in 2021. 

The Spanish keeper played in 16 La Liga matches last season while ter Stegen was injured. 

Peña also has interest from Turkey and Spain, but Fabregas' connection to Barcelona could sway the 26-year-old.
