Doubts in the Barcelona transfer market. Dominik Livakovic, a Croatian goalkeeper aged 31, is not included in the Catalan club's squad for tonight's match against Rayo Vallecano because he has not yet completed his registration. Barcelona is now considering a loan deal, with Dinamo Zagreb being one of the options, before the market closes.

Dominik Livakovic, waiting for registration at Barcelona

Barcelona announced the signing of Livakovic on August 27, after reaching an agreement with Fenerbahçe. The goalkeeper signed until June 30, 2030, and the deal has an initial cost of 2 million euros, with additional variables.

However, Livakovic is still not registered as a player to compete with the first team. AS confirmed on Monday that the Croatian will be left out of the squad against Rayo Vallecano, so his debut with Barcelona will have to wait.

The situation is related to the available margin to register new players. Barcelona has had to manage the registrations of its new signings and still has outgoing operations open in the final stretch of the market.

Livakovic has already trained with the group since his arrival in Barcelona. The club reported his presence in the sessions before the match on August 31, although his official participation is still subject to being registered.

A loan deal emerges as an alternative for Dominik Livakovic

Facing difficulties in registering him immediately, a loan deal reappears as a solution for Livakovic. The option had already been considered before finalizing the transfer, when Barcelona was evaluating bringing in the goalkeeper and sending him on loan during the season.

Dinamo Zagreb is a natural candidate to receive the player due to his previous connection with the club. Livakovic played 295 games there between 2016 and 2023 and later returned on loan during the second half of the 2025/26 season, playing 15 matches, conceding 10 goals, and keeping 8 clean sheets.

The alternative would allow Barcelona to maintain control of the player after signing a four-year contract. Moreover, this move would align with the scenario presented before the signing: Livakovic could gain playing time elsewhere while the club resolves its goalkeeper planning.

The sporting context also explains the possibility. Joan García is the first choice in the Barcelona goal, with Wojciech Szczesny remaining in the squad with a contract until 2027.

The next step will be to determine whether Barcelona can free up enough space to complete Livakovic's registration before the market closes or if a loan deal will be executed. As the market reaches its final stage, Dinamo Zagreb emerges again as an option for the immediate future of Dominik Livakovic.
