Fenerbahçe: Dominik Livakovic set to sign with FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona is on the verge of completing another addition to its squad. Dominik Livakovic is set to join Barça.

Croatian international goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic will sign with FC Barcelona this summer. Already on his way out of Fenerbahçe, the Croatian shot-stopper is now heading to the Blaugrana in a transfer estimated at €4 million, half of which is tied to bonuses, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday.

Dominik Livakovic, previously at Dinamo Zagreb, will sign a four-year contract with FC Barcelona, but is expected to be loaned out until the end of the season. He will support Joan Garcia starting next year, once Wojciech Szczesny's contract expires.

Although the final decision has yet to be officially made by FC Barcelona, the most likely scenario within the club is that Livakovic will remain with the first team and not be loaned out, setting up a completely different start for the Croatian keeper than was initially expected when the deal was struck.
