Still not fully agreed However, according to information obtained by SPORT, negotiations between Fenerbahce and Barcelona are advanced, but Livakovic’s immediate future has not yet been definitively decided, contrary to the reports in Croatia. The initial plan is for him to join Dinamo Zagreb on loan, although other possibilities remain open: a loan to another club or even joining Barcelona’s first team this season, provided the club’s salary-cap situation allows him to be registered. The deal is not yet complete, but negotiations are well advanced. Livakovic’s performances at the World Cup also reportedly convinced Barcelona’s sporting department.

He is one of the people tasked with finding a formula that satisfies all parties. Livakovic’s Girona spell, a chapter to forget Livaković already knows Spanish football after a brief spell with Girona, although his time at Montilivi was far from what had been expected. The goalkeeper joined on loan from Fenerbahce last summer but never made an appearance and eventually left the club in January before the end of his loan. His replacement after that episode was, ironically, Barcelona captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen. As for the move to Barça, talks seem to be advanced and progressing well, but a final agreement is not in place despite reports in Croatia suggesting otherwise.
