Barcelona out-of-favour player ‘very close’ to joining Serie A outfit – reportBarcelona anticipates several player departures before the transfer window closes. Oriol Romeu’s contract will be terminated, while Hector Fort may leave on loan or permanently with a buyback clause. Inaki Pena is reportedly close to joining Serie A’s Como 1907 after extending his Barcelona contract to 2027. This loan move eases Barcelona’s Financial Fair Play burden and potentially allows for a future transfer fee. Como, managed by Cesc Fabregas, beat out Celta Vigo for Pena’s signature.
