World Sports reported that at the beginning of the new season's preseason, Barcelona coach Frick encountered too many goalkeepers.

The German coach currently has four goalkeepers: newly signed Joan Garcia, renewed contract Szczesny, Ter Stegen and Inijaki Penia. Although Penia has accepted the fact that she left the team, the solution doesn't seem to be that quick. Penia's departure has slowed down, and although Barcelona has not yet found a suitable next home for it, the club does not believe that this issue will be resolved in the short term.

According to information learned from insiders in Barcelona, it is possible that even four goalkeepers will participate in tours in Japan and South Korea unless there are some extreme measures such as leaving one of the excluded players in Barcelona. During a conversation the day before returning to work, Ter Stegen decided to stick to stay in Barcelona. He has gained interest from several European clubs, including Manchester United, Monaco, Galatasaray and Manchester City, but he does not want to hear any proposals.

On the other hand, Penia knew that she was not in Frick's plan and that the contract expired in 2026. The wisest choice for him was to change the environment. However, the offer he received didn't meet his expectations, and despite his openness to negotiations, the deal could drag on longer than expected.

Therefore, these four goalkeepers may participate in the Japan and South Korea Tours together starting July 24, with three friendly matches during which the first match was against Kobe Victory Ship. In addition, reserve goalkeeper Kochi needs to be added, and he is expected to become the third goalkeeper of the season.

Within the club, the solution to this problem is not very optimistic. If you cannot register for Joan Garcia and others, with the La Liga coming to an end in the middle of this month, other goalkeepers may become the first choice.
