New shirt numbers confirmed

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona's goalkeeping department is undergoing a reshuffle. Catalan goalkeeper Joan Garcia takes the number '1' left vacant by Marc-André ter Stegen, who has departed on loan to Ajax. Meanwhile, Wojciech Szczesny gives up the '25' to take the '13'.

Yaakobishvili expected to leave soon

The goalkeeping situation could change further in the coming weeks. The presence in Barcelona of Pini Zahavi, the agent of Áron Yaakobishvili, has revived the goalkeeper's and the club's initial plan: another loan, or even a transfer with a buy-back option, in search of playing time, preferably in La Liga.

With competition for the gloves intensifying, a temporary move would allow the young shot-stopper to develop while keeping a route back to Camp Nou open.
