Official: Barcelona goalkeeper leaves the club on loan

Aron Yaakobishvili has left FC Barcelona on loan to join FC Andorra in La Liga 2, the club have officially confirmed.

“FC Barcelona and FC Andorra have reached an agreement for the loan of player Aron Yaakobishvili, until June 30, 2026,” the statement from Barça read.

The teenager becomes the second La Masia goalkeeper to leave on loan, following in the footsteps of Ander Astralaga.

Yaakobishvili has been at Barcelona since 2018, when he joined from the youth ranks of Atletic Sant Just.

The 19-year-old was one of the key players last season in Barça Juvenil A’s treble triumph under Juliano Belletti as they won the Division de Honor, Copa del Rey, and UEFA Youth League.

Yaakobishvili also made his debut for Barça Atletic in September last year and went on to play three times for the reserve team.

The youngster could have had a shot at becoming the starting goalkeeper for Barça Atletic in the Spanish fourth tier next season, but will now play for Andorra – the club owned by Barcelona legend Gerard Pique – in the second division.
