Mundo Deportivo reports on Iñaki Peña's contract renewal and loan move to Elche. Iñaki Peña, who was the second goalkeeper at FC Barcelona during the past season, has renewed his contract until 2029 and will be loaned to Elche. This move is both a sporting and economic decision, allowing him to gain more playing time and helping Barcelona to reduce their wage bill. The official announcement of this loan is expected in the coming hours. Eder Sarabia, the coach at Elche, has shown complete confidence in Peña, convincing him to join their project.

Marca has reported that Iñaki Peña is set to move to Elche for the next season. According to the report, Iñaki Peña will join Elche on loan next season following a full agreement among all involved parties. The negotiations gained momentum last week with Elche's involvement, as they managed to secure the Barcelona goalkeeper on a loan deal. Prior to the loan agreement, Peña extended his contract with Barcelona for three additional seasons, prolonging it from 2026 to 2029. This contract renewal was deemed necessary by Barcelona to facilitate the loan and also aids in generating 'Fair Play' for the club, which is essential for player registration. Both clubs are currently reviewing the contracts in order to finalize the deal as soon as possible.

Mundo Deportivo has reported that Iñaki Peña is on the verge of signing with Elche. His agent, Fernando Solanas, recently visited the facilities at Ciutat Esportiva de Sant Joan Despí to meet with Deco, who is the sporting director of Barcelona. During their meeting, they reached an agreement to renew Peña's contract, which is set to expire in June 2026, and to arrange a loan move for him. This decision is expected to help Barcelona generate sufficient 'fair play' to register Tek Szczesny as the second goalkeeper following Joan Garcia. Although Elche was not among the first clubs to express interest—Como and Celta had shown interest earlier but needed to offload players first—the chance for Peña to return home and the trust placed in him by Elche's coach, Eder Sarabia, who had previously worked with Peña at Barcelona under Setién, played a significant role in convincing the goalkeeper. Sources close to Peña have indicated that the deal could be finalized early this week, well ahead of the transfer window deadline on September 1st.
