La Liga giants Barcelona are giving consideration to what would be a surprise move to add to the club’s options between the posts. This comes amid the understanding that the Blaugrana have set their sights on a deal for Dominik Livaković.

The Camp Nou brass, it is reported, have already begun planning for the 2027/28 campaign. Specifically, ahead of the expected departure of Wojciech Szczęsny, Deco and co. are eyeing options to act as backup for no.1 Joan García.

A shortlist of shot-stoppers has, in turn, been drawn up behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital.

And according to transfer market insider Fabrizio Romano, featuring towards the very top of this list is the aforementioned Dominik Livaković.

Livaković, for his part, is an experienced Croatian international, with 79 senior caps to his name. The 31-year-old is currently owned by Turkish heavyweights Fenerbahçe, but would be expected to find game time difficult to come by this season owing to the presence of former Manchester City standout Ederson in Istanbul.

For this reason, the Barcelona board are considering bringing Livaković in on a permanent deal this summer, before farming the goalkeeper out on loan for a year.
