Dominik Livaković on whether he’ll play for Barcelona this season: ‘We’ll see’
The goalkeeper is ready to put pen on paper
Dominik Livaković is on the verge of signing for FC Barcelona, though it remains uncertain if he will play for the club this season or join Dinamo Zagreb on loan. The Spanish giants already possess Wojciech Szczęsny and Joan Garcia as goalkeepers, with reports suggesting they may loan Livaković for a season as backup to Garcia. However, conflicting reports indicate he could remain with Barcelona as Garcia's backup without an initial loan move.
When asked about his future, Livaković responded, "we'll see." The key determining factor is whether Barcelona has sufficient space within the FIFA Fair Play salary limit. If there is room, he plans to stay; if not, he'll go on loan and return the following year. Livaković, formerly of Fenerbahçe, will be paid four million euros by Barcelona.
He previously spent the first half of last season on loan at Girona FC, before completing the remainder of the season with his childhood club, Dinamo Zagreb. A Croatian national hero, Livaković has been the team's first-choice goalkeeper during their successful 2022 World Cup campaigns, including saving three penalties in a shootout victory against Japan and contributing eleven saves in the match, plus one in the shootout, to secure a win over Brazil.
