Barcelona Signs Croatia Goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic From Fenerbahce

Barcelona: Barcelona has signed Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic from Turkish club Fenerbahce

Barcelona said Thursday that the 31-year-old Livakovic signed a contract until 2030.

Livakovic is set to play a reserve role in a squad that already has Joan Garcia - the team's regular starter - and veteran Wojciech Szczesny.

Barcelona earlier this month sent Germany goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to Ajax on a loan.

Financial details of the Livakovic transfer were not immediately available.

Livakovic started at NK Zagreb in the Croatian first division before joining Dinamo Zagreb for the 2016-17 season. After seven season he signed with Fenerbahce, where he stayed two years before joining Spanish club Girona on a loan.

Livakovic returned to Dinamo Zagreb this year, also on loan, after being criticized by Girona coach Michel for not prioritizing the club. Michel said the reserve goalkeeper refused to play in a match and wanted to leave the club. He said the goalkeeper was only worried about the World Cup.

Livakovic has been a regular in the Croatia squad since 2017, having played in the last three World Cups and the last two European Championships.
