Sources: 7. Developments: 2. In late July 2026, 20‑year‑old Hungarian goalkeeper Áron Yaakobishvili joined FC Barcelona’s first‑team pre‑season camp in Birmingham, England, as one of four goalkeepers travelling with the squad. The move followed a season‑long loan at FC Andorra, where he made 21 league appearances and kept three clean sheets. Barcelona’s contract with Yaakobishvili runs until the summer of 2028, and Spanish clubs Levante UD, Racing de Santander and Mallorca were reported to be interested in a loan or permanent transfer. By early August, Barcelona announced it would retain Yaakobishvili, rejecting interest from Racing de Santander, and positioned him as the third‑choice keeper behind Joan Garcia and Wojciech Szczęsny. The club indicated that he remains part of its long‑term plans after the departure of several senior goalkeepers, while still leaving open the possibility of a future loan spell. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-05: Ajax adds Julian Brandt and Marc‑André ter Stegen as new signings Ajax welcomed Julian Brandt, who debuted in a 3‑1 win over Shelbourne, and announced former Barcelona keeper Marc‑André ter Stegen, with coach Míchel Sánchez confident about both signings. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/barcelona-refuses-to-loan-goalkeeper-aron-yaakobishvili-despite-racing-santander-interest ### 2026-07-27: Hungarian keeper Yaakobishvili joins Barcelona first‑team camp in England Hungarian keeper Áron Yaakobishvili joins Barcelona’s first‑team camp in Birmingham; previous loan at FC Andorra, contract through 2028, and interest from Levante, Racing and Mallorca. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hungarian-keeper-yaakobishvili-joins-barcelona-firstteam-camp-in-england --- Cite as: Barcelona goalkeeper Yaakobishvili status.
