Barcelona agrees personal terms with goalkeeper Livaković, plans loan to Dinamo Zagreb

Spanish giants Barcelona have reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with Croatian national team goalkeeper Dominik Livaković, according to Turkish insider Yağız Sabuncuoğlu. This development signals Barcelona's intent to pursue the player, though official negotiations with his current club, Fenerbahçe, are yet to commence.

Livaković, who has a contract until 2028, is reportedly unwilling to continue playing for Fenerbahçe, and the Turkish club is also understood to be open to his departure. Barcelona is expected to offer between four and five million euros for the goalkeeper's services. The move would see Livaković potentially serving as a backup to first-choice goalkeeper Joan García, with the plan for him to take over the reserve role once García's contract expires.

However, the immediate plan for Livaković involves a loan spell. Barcelona aims to send him to Dinamo Zagreb for a one-year loan, allowing him to gain playing time and potentially reintegrate with his former club. Livaković spent the latter half of last season on loan at Dinamo Zagreb and had expressed a desire to return permanently. A stumbling block then was the inability of Dinamo and Fenerbahçe to agree on a transfer fee.

It appears Livaković's agent, Andy Bara, has leveraged his strong relationship with Barcelona president Joan Laporta to facilitate the transfer. This arrangement would allow Livaković to spend the current season on loan at Dinamo Zagreb before potentially becoming Barcelona's second-choice goalkeeper next summer. The report suggests this move could provide Livaković with the opportunity to play for one of the world's major clubs while addressing Barcelona's goalkeeping needs in the long term.
