FC Barcelona owes a great deal to La Masia, their factory of talents, as innumerable talents with high ceilings have come out of the academy. However, offering regular play time in the first squad to many of these youngsters is always challenging, given how competition is soaring at the club.
One of the players who face an uncertain future following the expiration of his contract is Arnau Tenas. The goalkeeper was raised in the youth ranks of Barcelona but has been consistently regarded as the third-choice keeper in the squad, falling behind Ter Stegen and Inaki Pena.
As per Mundo Deportivo, Tenas has been approached by PSG. The La Masia graduate is no longer officially affiliated with the Catalan giants, with the player now labeled a free agent. Although PSG are currently occupied with the Mbappe saga, they have not abandoned their recruitment strategy.
After hiring Barcelona’s treble-winning coach, Luis Enrique, players shortlisted by the coach are given priority. Tenas is one of the names previously trained by Enrique at Barcelona and has thus entered his sights.
Currently, PSG offers the 22-year-old prospect an opportunity to play second fiddle to Gianluigi Donnarumma. Playtime is likely to rise in such a context, which particularly appeals to Tenas.
Arnau Tenas and Luis Enrique share a representative, specifically, Ivan de la Pena, which is an intriguing fact that, without a doubt, can help the operation succeed. In addition to these ties, Enrique favors goalies that are good with their feet. As such, Tenas garners remarkable consensus.
Given Sergio Rico’s accident, from which he is still recovering, and Keylor Navas’ impending departure, which is inevitable, Arnau Tenas emerges as an intriguing possibility for PSG. After his highly promising campaign in the under-21 Euros for Spain, it is unsurprising to see him enter the crosshairs of one of Europe’s top clubs.
