Barcelona prepares to loan or sell Aron Yaakobishvili amid goalkeeping changes

Barcelona is moving towards loaning or selling goalkeeper Aron Yaakobishvili, according to reports on August 11, 2026. The club's goalkeeping situation has changed significantly this summer, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen joining Ajax on loan and other goalkeepers finding new teams. Yaakobishvili, who recently returned from a loan at Andorra and has expressed a desire for regular playing time, may leave the club to avoid being third-choice behind Joan Garcia and Wojciech Szczesny. Barcelona is considering a permanent transfer with a buy-back clause and is in discussions facilitated by agent Pini Zahavi to find the best fit for the young goalkeeper's development. Finding suitable destinations for him has become more complex as several clubs have resolved their goalkeeping situations.
