On-loan Barcelona prospect drawing strong interest from Italy and Germany – Romano | OneFootball

Barcelona may be focused on results at the top of La Liga, but behind the scenes, the club is also keeping a careful eye on the development of one of their most promising young goalkeepers. 

According to information shared by Fabrizio Romano, several Italian and German clubs have been monitoring the progress of Aron Yaakobishvili during his loan spell this season.

The 19-year-old Hungarian is currently playing for FC Andorra in La Liga 2, where he has quietly built a strong reputation with a series of assured performances. 

Regular minutes at the senior level have allowed him to show his shot-stopping ability, command of the area, and composure with the ball at his feet, qualities that are highly valued in modern goalkeepers.

Amid all this, Barcelona remain firmly in control of the situation. Despite the growing external interest, the club still see Yaakobishvili as a long-term project and are closely tracking his development. 

So far, the decision has paid off. At Andorra, Yaakobishvili has gained confidence and consistency, something that would have been difficult to achieve had he stayed in Barcelona without guaranteed playing time. 

The level of competition in the senior squad is intense, especially in goal, and that reality has shaped his path so far.

Although he has yet to make his official debut for Barcelona’s first team, Yaakobishvili has not been far from the action. 

He had been called up on multiple occasions, a clear sign that the coaching staff trust his potential. 

Still, breaking into the senior setup is never straightforward, particularly for a teenager.

That context explains why the loan to Andorra was agreed during the previous transfer window. 

Rather than stagnating on the bench, Yaakobishvili opted for a full season of responsibility in Segunda Division, where mistakes are part of learning and performances truly matter. 

And now, interest from Italy and Germany reflects his upward curve.

For now, Barcelona remain calm. They hold his rights, they are pleased with his progress, and they will decide his next step when the season ends.
