Barcelona has sent an official offer to Fenerbahçe for Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livaković, while also considering a loan to Dinamo Zagreb. The transfer depends entirely on the club’s financial situation, and sports director Deco is currently focused on other matters in the squad and does not want to make decisions that would burden the club’s wage budget.
Financial Conditions
Deco has stressed that Barcelona is in a phase of stabilising finances and that the transfer will be abandoned if the necessary budget space is not created. The plan for the goalkeeper position is medium‑term, as Wojciech Szczęsny is entering the last year of his contract, and the club wants to secure a quality competitor for Juan García in time.
Loan Plan
Barcelona is considering a model in which Livaković, after signing a contract, would immediately be loaned out for one year to Dinamo Zagreb. This would ensure continuity for the Croatian international goalkeeper until the next summer, when he would permanently join the club after Szczęsny’s contract expires. Livaković is reportedly open to such an arrangement and is willing to wait for the outcome.
Agent Andy Bara
A key role in the potential transfer is played by agent Andy Bara, who has long‑standing good relations with Barcelona’s board, especially with Deco and chairman Joan Laporta. Bara has been involved in major transfers for the club, such as the arrivals of Dani Olmo and Juan García, and is valued for his ability to find solutions in complex negotiations. His collaboration with the club could facilitate the deal that has been in preparation for some time. By sending the offer, Barcelona has taken the first step, and Fenerbahçe has shown readiness for talks. Although the deal is not yet finalised, both parties have an interest in reaching an agreement.
