Barcelona looked set to go for a goalkeeper in the coming days, following another horrific injury to captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Many took this as a sign that Hansi Flick does not have faith in Inaki Pena, who replaced the German at the weekend, but this is not the case.
Matteo Moretto informed Football España that Barcelona maintains full confidence in Pena, and while they evaluate their options in the transfer market, and consider what kind of signing they want to make, they have not yet decided to sign. It is a decision that will come next week.

Sport also note that a new signing does not necessarily mean that Pena will be abandoned, while it also adds 37 years. Antonio Adan to the list of names linked with the hole left by ter Stegen's injury. The former Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid shot-stopper is a free agent after leaving Sporting CP this summer.
