Barcelona Move to Sign Dominik Livaković With Loan Plan

The club is seeking to lock in an experienced backup now to be loaned for a season and join the squad as part of a goalkeeper overhaul for 2027.

Overview

  • Reports say Barcelona have agreed personal terms with Dominik Livaković and sent an opening club-to-club offer to Fenerbahçe of about €3 million plus add-ons, with talks described as advanced but not final.
  • The sporting plan is to complete the signing this summer, immediately loan Livaković for the 2026/27 season so he keeps playing, and then bring him in as backup to Joan García for the 2027/28 campaign.
  • Media outlets give different fee breakdowns: several sources cite roughly €3 million plus variables while one report frames the operation as €2 million fixed and €2 million in add-ons, and the deal is still subject to paperwork.
  • Barcelona’s interest grew after Livaković’s 2026 World Cup displays and his status as surplus at Fenerbahçe because Ederson is the club’s starter, a market position that has helped accelerate talks with agent Andy Bara involved.
  • If the transfer completes it could reshape Barca’s goalkeeper hierarchy after Wojciech Szczesny’s contract ends in June 2027 and would make Marc‑André ter Stegen’s return from his Ajax loan less likely, a consequence still being decided.
