Marca: Barcelona plans to have Pena sort out his future as soon as possible, and there are other options for the third goalkeeper

Leisu Sports, July 18th: According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Barcelona's plan is not to have Pena join the team on the Asian tour but to keep him in Spain to deal with his future.

The report said that Garcia will be Barcelona's first-choice goalkeeper in the new season, Szczesny will be the second-choice goalkeeper, and a person who was previously behind the scenes has emerged in the position of third-choice goalkeeper. Diego Cohen has yet to show up at Barcelona's training camp, but the club has expedited the processing of his relevant documents so that he can join the team for the Asian tour.

Barcelona's plan is to have Pena not travel to Japan and South Korea with the team, but stay in Spain to address his future issues. Instead, Diego Cohen will go to Asia along with the other two goalkeepers, Garcia and Szczesny. Although there are still a few days until departure and it's not 100% certain, Barcelona has taken action to ensure that Diego Cohen's documents are all in place. The possibility of having Diego Cohen play as the third-choice goalkeeper in the new season while also accumulating playing time at Barcelona Athletic is increasing.
