Joan Laporta is planning next season’s team and has encountered an unexpected problem. After spending several weeks trying to negotiate his renewal, no agreement has been reached and the idea is to sell him immediately. We’re talking about Áron Yaakobishvili, a goalkeeper from the youth categories, whose contract ends on June 30.
Relevo has revealed that Áron Yaakobishvili is looking for a new destination after seeing the doors of Barça shut on him. In the last draft for the Youth League match against Borussia Dortmund, in fact, he was left out. The Hungarian has found himself blocked with so many goalkeepers ahead, and the idea is for him to leave.
Joan Laporta has opened the doors wide: If he wants to leave, let him, but it should be immediately. What the president of FC Barcelona wants is the possibility of getting some money for his youth player. If he doesn’t leave before the next market ends, Áron Yaakobishvili will end up leaving for free due to the expiration of his contract.
Áron Yaakobishvili Isn’t Untouchable: Laporta Already Has His New Ter Stegen
The reality is that Áron Yaakobishvili isn’t untouchable at Barça. Although he is seen as having a good future, he isn’t considered the goalkeeper with the most potential from the youth academy. Joan Laporta has already found his particular Ter Stegen and has him renewed until 2028: Diego Kochen.
The American goalkeeper, 18 years old like Áron Yaakobishvili, is the main starter for FC Barcelona Atlètic and is expected to continue growing in the coming years. His technical and physical qualities are highly appreciated, to the point that Joan Laporta is thrilled with him.
The idea is for Kochen to become the first goalkeeper of FC Barcelona in the coming years, something that has closed the doors to the Hungarian, currently in Juvenil A. In any case, it’s still too early to say. What is clear is that Áron Yaakobishvili will end up leaving, either now in January or next summer coinciding with the expiration of his contract.
