André Picornell

André Carl Picornell (born 3 April 2004) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.

Club career
Picornell played in the youth sector of IF Brommapojkarna; after going on trial with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Feyenoord and Heerenveen, he joined Allsvenskan side Djurgårdens IF in November 2021, signing a two-year professional deal with the club. Throughout the 2022 season, the goalkeeper played for Djurgården's under-19 and under-21 teams, and was ultimately named as Goalkeeper of the Year for the former national championship. During the same campaign, he also made several bench appearances for the first team in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

On 9 April 2023, Picornell made his professional debut, coming on as a substitute for Gustav Wikheim in the 51st minute of a league match against IK Sirius, after first-choice keeper Jacob Widell Zetterström had been sent off. He managed to keep a clean sheet, as the game ended in a goalless draw.

He left Djurgårdens IF in January 2024, having turned down an offer to renew his contract with the club.

International career
Due to his origins, Picornell is eligible to represent either Sweden or Spain at international level.

After playing for the Swedish under-17 national team, in May 2021 he accepted a call-up for a training camp with the Spain U17s. He then came back to represent Sweden at under-18 and under-19 levels.

Persona life
Picornell was born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and a Spanish Catalan father.
