"Sent out on loan until June 2026 to gain professional experience, "Yaako" has seized the opportunity. He has already racked up 17 starts for the Andorra side, establishing himself as a key figure. Despite playing for a team that is not among the league's strongest, his individual numbers are compelling: an average of four saves per game and a save percentage hovering around 75%."
"The coming summer could see Barcelona go through a revamp in the goalkeeping department. Marc-Andre ter Stegen's future will be in question after returning from a loan spell at Girona, while Wojciech Szczesny is sure to retire, leaving several goalkeeper positions up for grabs. In the midst of this uncertainty, Barcelona are looking increasingly favourably at Aron Yaakobishvili. One for the future?"
"What makes Yaakobishvili particularly attractive to Hansi Flick and Deco is his alignment with the Barça DNA. He is excellent at reading the game, and his solid footwork when playing out from the back is a non-negotiable trait for a Barcelona goalkeeper. The club showed their faith in him last summer by renewing his contract until 2028, amidst interest from several Segunda Division clubs."
Several Barcelona goalkeeper positions may open next summer as Marc-André ter Stegen returns from a Girona loan and Wojciech Szczesny prepares to retire. Aron Yaakobishvili has emerged as a candidate for a first-team role after an impressive loan spell at FC Andorra. He has 17 starts, averages four saves per game, posts a save percentage around 75%, conceded 21 goals and kept three clean sheets. Yaakobishvili displays strong game reading and confident footwork when playing out from the back, qualities aligned with Barcelona's playing identity. His contract was extended through 2028 and the club is considering him for the goalkeeper trio.
