Barça sign Livaković as Joan García's backup (Romano, SER)

Barcelona have completed the signing of Dominik Livaković from Fenerbahçe, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano and the SER programme Què t’hi jugues’.

The Croatian goalkeeper joins immediately to serve as Joan García‘s backup. Barça have reserved the role of third-choice keeper for Szczesny.

The agreement between the two clubs has been sealed for a fixed fee of €2 million, plus another €2 million in add-ons. Livaković will sign a four-season contract with the Blaugrana club.

The club, according to the SER programme Què t’hi jugues’, expects Livaković to take over as the permanent backup goalkeeper from June 2027, when Szczesny’s spell at Barça comes to an end. Until then, Barcelona would look for a loan move that allows him to continue playing regularly as a starter elsewhere.

The deal therefore resolves Barça’s goalkeeping situation in the short and medium term, with three internationally proven goalkeepers in the squad.
