Torino and Dinamo Zagreb have opened negotiations with the representative of Fenerbahce goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic as the Croatia international seeks a permanent route out of Turkey this summer.
Meetings involving the Serie A side and the Croatian club have taken place with agent Andy Bara, who is reportedly pushing for the 31-year-old’s departure from the Super Lig outfit following a disjointed spell in Istanbul.
Fragmented Tenure in Turkey
Livakovic completed his transfer to Fenerbahce in 2023 but has struggled to establish himself as a consistent presence between the posts. The goalkeeper spent the final six months of last season back on loan at former employers Dinamo Zagreb, having previously endured an earlier temporary spell with Spanish side Girona FC during his time under contract in Turkey.
Despite earning 79 caps for his national team and bringing considerable international experience, the veteran faces an uncertain future with the Yellow Canaries. His representative is now actively seeking to secure a permanent resolution to a stint characterised by loan moves and limited stability.
Expanded Interest and Competition
The race for Livakovic’s services may intensify beyond the Italian and Croatian frontrunners. Premier League side Crystal Palace are understood to be monitoring developments with interest, while Scottish champions Celtic have also positioned themselves as potential outsiders in the pursuit.
However, neither the English nor Scottish clubs have progressed to formal negotiations at this stage, leaving Torino and Dinamo Zagreb as the primary contenders currently engaged in active dialogue with the player’s camp.
Potential Complications
Any prospective transfer may require careful medical assessment. Reports indicate that the experienced keeper is currently managing muscular issues, which could influence both the timeline of negotiations and his readiness for pre-season preparations with any new employer.
Torino’s pursuit forms part of a prolonged recruitment drive that has spanned several weeks without success. The Granata view the Croatia international as a solution to their goalkeeping requirements, though competition from Dinamo Zagreb—where Livakovic recently enjoyed a familiar environment—could prove decisive in the final outcome.
