Pena was also being considered by Italian club Como, but he decided to stay in Spain's LaLiga. This decision will allow him to continue playing in his home country.
It's worth noting that Pena's loan deal with Elche does not include an option to buy him permanently. This means that he will return to Barcelona at the end of the loan period.
Pena has had experience playing on loan at Turkish club Galatasaray in the past.
