Real Betis threaten Barcelona plans for Inaki Pena

Barcelona goalkeeper Inaki Pena has seen new contract talks stall.

Sport says Pena's current deal expires in June and both parties have been in contact for months to extend his deal, but they still haven't reached a definitive agreement, something that seemed close a few weeks ago.

Barça and Peña were in agreement to extend the goalkeeper's contract for three seasons, but the economic offer that the Alicante-born player has received was not to his liking. In addition, his agent has received rival offers.

One of them is from Real Betis, who see him as a good option to fill the vacancy left by the veteran Claudio Bravo -- taking into account that Peña would arrive for free.

As such, Pena is now weighing up other options beyond Barca.
