With Donnarumma and Navas, PSG have two excellent goalkeepers but also two possible starters. So, very difficult to send one of the two on the bench. The Italian should be favored in the future, pushing Navas towards the exit. So we need a new number two.
There is one man too many in the cages of the PSG. Gianluigi Donnarumma and Keylor Navas had to share the starting spot last season. But, for the next season, the Parisian club wants to stop an alternation badly experienced by the two men. Presumably, the sports management decided in favor of the Italian. This pushes Keylor Navas to leave this summer to play matches, while the World Cup in Qatar is looming. If at PSG we have already gotten used to this scenario, we still have to compensate for this departure.
Inaki Pena, future number two at PSG?
The Parisian club does not lack solutions for this position in its workforce. However, he would like to find a quality number two, reliable and who would not be reluctant to the task. The bench, Inaki Pena knew him well at Camp Nou. The FC Barcelona substitute goalkeeper was number two or even three in the Catalan club before being sent on loan for the last six months to Galatasaray. He notably achieved great performances in the Europa League, including once morest his training club which he had met in the round of 16.

According to AS, this did not escape Luis Campos. The new PSG sports adviser wants to make him the new number two behind Donnarumma. ” One of PSG’s targets for next season is Inaki Peña, a 23-year-old goalkeeper currently at FC Barcelona and whom Luis Campos knew well during his time at Galatasaray, where Peña was loaned out last season. The Spaniard, who has a contract until 2023, might enter into negotiations with PSG in January 2023 to become Donnarumma’s understudy for the 2023/2024 season. “, published the Spanish newspaper. An interesting option, remains to convince a player who has taken a liking to matches in Turkey and who might aspire to a starting place in a less prestigious club.
