Livakovic lands in Barcelona, uncertain about loan move: 'We'll see'

Croatian international goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic landed in Barcelona on Tuesday, poised to sign a four-year contract with the club. However, his immediate role within the squad is still undecided, as he may be loaned out for a season.

When questioned by reporters upon arrival about his immediate future, Livakovic responded with a smile, "We'll see." The 31-year-old goalkeeper is scheduled for a medical examination and contract signing on Wednesday. The decision on whether he will serve as a backup to Joan Garcia this season or be loaned out hinges on several factors.

One key variable is the club's ability to find a suitable loan destination that satisfies both Barcelona and the player. Another is whether Livakovic's early arrival fits within the club's current financial fair play regulations for the ongoing transfer window. The club is reportedly set to finalize the transfer from Fenerbahçe for approximately four million euros in fixed fees and variables.

Livakovic's potential loan move could see him become the successor to Wojciech Szczesny as the team's second-choice goalkeeper once Szczesny's contract concludes at the end of the current campaign. The uncertainty surrounding his immediate integration highlights the club's ongoing financial and squad planning.
