Gerard Piqué owned club, Andorra, is reportedly targeting a Barcelona star as the ex-defender looks to strengthen his side.
The summer transfer window is on fire as FC Barcelona gets ready to finalize plans for the upcoming 2025-26 season, and a talented player theirs from their legendary youth academy has suddenly become the target of an unlikely suitor a few weeks before preseason resumes.
Preseason will start this Sunday, and FC Barcelona has some major decisions to make with their young players, especially because lots of clubs are interested and showing that FC Barcelona can attract a world audience with their youth players.
The player is Ander Astralaga, a 21-year-old Spanish goalkeeper who had a great youth career at Barcelona.
According to Jijantes, Andorra FC, owned by former Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué, is interested in the young goalkeeper.
In fact, after a loan spell at Granada for the 2025-26 season, Astralaga started to become a player in Piqué’s eye for Andorra FC, particularly given his old club is an English, now second-division, club looking to add to their squad.
Astralaga’s agility and duality of control in goal make someone formerly trained at La Masia a great prospect, although any potential move would depend on Barcelona’s perspective.
Piqué’s interest matches recent developments from Barcelona, including the additions of Lovro Chelfi and the management of loan player acquisitions.
For Piqué, it would seem that being able to sign Astralaga or bringing him a part of his project at Andorra from a La Masia graduate is obvious.
Since we are back in the transfer window-led phase, the outcome of transfer relations with Barcelona is ongoing, while Piqué’s past at the club adds uncertainty to how this will unfold.
The question for the future is whether the teenage Astralaga stays within the orbit of Barcelona Football Club or if he heads to a new.
