Dominik Livaković has joined Barcelona on loan after the proposed move to Dinamo Zagreb collapsed. Ivan Nevistić has been named as the club's long-term goalkeeping solution.
How good is Nevistić for Dinamo Zagreb?
Ivan Ljubić stated that Nevistić is much better than people think and was one of Dinamo's heroes in their Champions League qualifier against Karabakh. It is reported that Nevistić saved several crucial penalties last season, helping the team stay competitive. His experience in European competitions makes him a reliable option for the club's long-term plans.
Where does Nevistić fit in the current squad?
Nevistić is currently Dinamo's second-choice goalkeeper, and with Livaković's departure, he is set to receive more opportunities in the first team. His position in the squad has been strengthened alongside Ivan Filipović, who remains as the third goalkeeper. This setup provides stability without needing external signings.
How does this affect Dinamo's plans for the rest of the season?
With Livaković moving to Barcelona, Dinamo has reduced wage-related expenses, while Nevistić and Filipović offer sufficient quality for the HNL and qualification matches. The club can now focus on developing young goalkeepers through the academy, as there is no immediate need for a transfer.
Dinamo Zagreb will continue the 2026/27 season with Nevistić as the first-choice goalkeeper, and their next home match is against Rijeka on 10 September 2026, a detail available on our fixtures page.
