Each team: Barcelona s first team goalkeeper is overloaded, and the dilemma of 5-6 goalkeepers in the team is currently difficult to solve

July 1, "Daily Sports Daily" reported that less than two weeks after Barcelona's first team started preparing for the season, the goalkeeper position is about to face serious "overload".

With the addition of Joan Garcia and Szczesny's contract renewal, the deadlock between Ter Stegen and Penia has not been broken. If the current situation continues, both of them will appear at the training base on July 13 to participate in the first training session of the new season. The two potential new stars Diego Cohen and Aaron Jakobeshvili may lose their chances until the deadlock is resolved.

The only confirmed whereabouts is Astraga. Although the goalkeeper who served as the main player of Barcelona B team last season performed well, he failed to prevent the team from being relegated. He will play in the Spanish Second Division on loan in the new season and join Granada.

But the real breakup will take place after Ter Stegen and Peña leave. Peña understands that he must find the next player, but the potential next player either has a main player (Celta) or is about to finalize a new goalkeeper (Valencia).

What's more difficult is the situation of Ter Stegen. The captain has no intention of leaving the team and is determined to fulfill his contract that lasts until 2028 and is confident that he can maintain the main position, although Joan Garcia is coming for the main position. Before holding a key talk with Frick, the future of Teshi is hard to tell in the short term.

In this context, Jakobe Shivili and Cohen are anxiously waiting. According to common sense, at least one of them should be trained with the first team, and the club is optimistic about the potential of both of them. Cohen was a regular visitor to Flick's training class at the end of last season, serving as the third goalkeeper. After a long negotiation to renew his contract until 2028, Jakobeshvili just achieved a triple-winning career with the youth team.

Cohen should have continued to serve as Barcelona's third goalkeeper, while Jakobishvili promoted the B team. However, due to Garcia's arrival and Szczesny's stay at the team, it is unrealistic to let Cohen sit on the bench all season, so the goalkeeper position of Barcelona B may continue in recent years' rotation tradition.

Although we expect Flick to give Cohen a chance at least in the Asian tour at the beginning of the season, the scene of 5-6 goalkeepers in the first team training is still absurd. This problem is really difficult to solve at present.
