"At present, Barcelona are operating with three top-level goalkeepers in the first-team environment. Joan Garcia has emerged as a key figure, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen remains under contract and determined to defend his position. Alongside them is Wojciech Szczęsny, whose short-term future is less problematic, as the former Poland international would not oppose the club's decision should Barcelona opt not to renew his contract beyond the current season."
"As reported by SPORT, the real complication lies beneath the surface. Inaki Pena renewed his contract until 2027 before heading out on loan to Elche, and he is expected to return next summer. It is said that he could stay on as the second-choice goalkeeper, although strong offers are likely to arrive. A sale could benefit all parties, but no decision has been made."
Barcelona currently have three first-team goalkeepers: Joan Garcia, Marc-André ter Stegen and Wojciech Szczęsny. Joan Garcia has emerged as a key figure while Ter Stegen remains determined to defend his position. Szczęsny would not oppose the club deciding not to renew his contract beyond this season. Inaki Pena signed until 2027 is on loan at Elche and is expected to return, potentially as second-choice unless a sale occurs. Ander Astralaga has inconsistent minutes on loan at Granada with a contract until 2026. Aron Yaakobishvili is excelling at FC Andorra and attracting interest. Diego Kochen needs a loan to find first-team minutes. In total, Barcelona control six goalkeepers and must resolve their futures.
