Barcelona faces financial hurdles in registering goalkeeper Livaković

Croatian national team goalkeeper Dominik Livaković has officially joined Barcelona, participating in his first training session with the Catalan club after signing a four-year deal. Despite the move, his immediate future with the team remains uncertain due to financial fair play regulations.

Barcelona is currently struggling to meet La Liga's financial fair play requirements, which dictate the amount clubs can spend on player wages and transfers. The club must find a way to balance its books and create space within its wage cap to officially register Livaković. Failure to do so could prevent him from playing for the team this season.

If Barcelona cannot register Livaković before the transfer window closes, the only viable option would be a loan move. This would see the Croatian goalkeeper spend the season at another club, gaining playing time before potentially returning to Barcelona the following summer. This scenario could align with the contract expiration of current goalkeeper Szczęsny next summer.

With only a few days left in the transfer window, a decision on Livaković's immediate future is expected soon. The situation highlights the ongoing financial challenges Barcelona faces as it attempts to rebuild its squad while adhering to strict financial regulations.

The main problem is financial fair play, so Barcelona still has to find a solution within its financial limits to register Livaković for matches.
