His role for the coming season, though, remains up in the air.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona had initially planned to loan Livakovic to Dinamo Zagreb this season and recall him next term, once Szczesny&#8217;s contract expires.<\/p>\n<p>Another option keeps him at the Camp Nou as backup to Joan Garcia.<\/p>\n<p>Livakovic hinted as much on arrival, telling the Catalan newspaper: &#8220;I am very happy to be here. Will I stay here this season? We&#8217;ll see&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Whether he sticks around as second choice hinges on Barcelona&#8217;s financial situation under financial fair play rules. Clear enough room in the wage bill and Livakovic joins straight away. If not, the club will look at a loan, perhaps to Dinamo Zagreb, before he returns in the summer of 2027 to become Barcelona&#8217;s number two.<\/p>\n<p>You can discuss the topics and news in greater depth on the Kooora forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fenerbahce goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic has touched down at Barcelona&#8217;s private airport lounge, ready to complete his summer switch&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75657,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[92,28143,16298,12210,265],"class_list":["post-75656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-barcelona","tag-d-livakovic","tag-dinamo-zagreb","tag-fenerbahce","tag-transfers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75656\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
