Como expected to make final decision on Barcelona goalkeeper | OneFootball

Como are making technical assessments on Inaki Pena before approving the goalkeeper’s transfer from Barcelona, on loan with an option to buy.

As Football Italia reported last week, Como have been planning to finalise a deal to sign Inaki Pena from Barcelona today.

There are all the conditions to finalise an initial loan move with an option to buy, which would prompt the 26-year-old goalkeeper to sign a contract extension with Barcelona, given that his current deal runs out in June 2026.

However, sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that Como are making technical assessments before finalising the deal.

The Azzurri already have a starting goalkeeper, Jean Butez, who moved to the club in the 2025 January transfer window, but will soon make a final decision on Inaki Pena.

Como are among the highest spenders in Serie A this summer and have already welcomed six new players: Alvaro Morata, Jacobo Ramon, Jayden Addai, Martin Baturina, Nicolas Kuhn and Jesus Rodriguez.
