The chosen one by Celta de Vigo to replace Vicente Guaita 5l1u2w

The future between the posts for Celta de Vigo could experience a significant turn in the coming days. With the confirmed departure of Vicente Guaita, who seems set to return to Valencia after his spell at Balaídos, the Galician team has set its sights on Iñaki Peña. The young goalkeeper from Barcelona has not managed to establish himself as a regular option in the first team of the Catalan club, and his desire for playing time makes him a strong candidate to defend the celestial goal in the season.

The club's environment in Vigo values the arrival of a goalkeeper with potential and hunger for prominence, and the Alicante-born Peña meets both requirements. At 26 years old, and with experience in top-level football but lacking regularity, Peña sees a change of scenery with optimism, allowing him to assume the starting position in an institution with growing ambitions.

The appeal of competing in European competition in 2025-2026 plays a key role in the intentions of the goalkeeper. Celta, who has had a remarkable season, is close to securing their continental ticket, enabling them to negotiate from a position of strength with players looking to escape the bench. For Iñaki Peña, this opportunity represents more than just a transfer: it is a gateway to consolidation in the elite.

Barcelona would not hinder his departure significantly, given his very secondary role in the squad. The deal could be completed as a modest financial transfer or even through a loan with a purchase option. Talks between the clubs are said to have begun, and if all goes well, the goal of Celta de Vigo could have a new occupant in an exciting context for their fans. Peña, finally, could find the prominence denied to him at the Camp Nou.
