According to World Sports, Peña has renewed his contract with Barcelona until 2029, but he will be loaned to Elche by Barcelona soon. The salary space that Peña previously occupied in Barcelona will be released, and then Barcelona can complete the registration of Szczesny.

Barcelona's loan to Peña is both economic and competitive. Barcelona believes that Peña needs more playing time, after all, he did not get much opportunity under Fric last season.
