- Barcelona are considering Fenerbahçe goalkeeper Dominik Livaković as a future backup for Joan García, with Szczęsny's contract expiring next summer.
Barcelona is considering a move for Fenerbahçe goalkeeper Dominik Livaković in this transfer window, as per Fabrizio Romano. The Catalan giants want to sign him and send him on loan this season and bring him back next season as the key backup goalkeeper.
Barcelona are considering Livaković as an option for their future goalkeeping plans, although no negotiations have started with Fenerbahçe yet.
Why are Barcelona looking at Livaković?
Blaugrana sanctioned the sale of Inaki Pena to Panathinaikos for €3 million earlier in this window and loaned out Marc-André ter Stegen to Ajax. As of now, goalkeeping options for Hansi Flick in the team are Joan Garcia and Szczęsny. Szczesny’s contract will expire next summer, and Barcelona are aiming to bring in Livaković to replace the Polish keeper.
Barcelona are considering signing Livaković now and sending him out on loan before bringing him back next summer as their experienced No.2 behind Joan García.
Livaković would offer Barcelona an experienced option behind Joan García. His biggest strength is his shot-stopping, while his experience at the international level could make him a reliable presence if he is eventually asked to step into the team.
His contract with the Turkish giants is running until 2028.
Barcelona is likely to enter discussions with both the player's camp and the club in upcoming days as the transfer window is approaching its final weeks
