Overview

• Barcelona have renewed Iñaki Peña through 2029 and sent the goalkeeper on loan to Elche, according to multiple reports from Spain.
• The exit is designed to open a squad and wage slot so LaLiga can process Wojciech Szczesny as Hansi Flick’s backup to Joan García, with club confirmation tied to league sign-off.
• Further outgoings remain in focus, with the departures of Oriol Romeu and Héctor Fort viewed as key to registering Roony Bardghji and Gerard Martín before the deadline.
• RCD Mallorca executives met Deco in Barcelona to discuss potential moves involving Jan Virgili, Héctor Fort and Dani Rodríguez, with Fort yet to decide his next step.
• Mallorca’s pursuit of Fort hinges on resolving Pablo Maffeo’s situation, as his proposed transfer to Atlético Mineiro is stalled over fee demands and the player’s reservations.
