Celtic are expected to sign Dominik Livakovic following a ‘offer’, according to experts.

Celtic have been backed to complete the signing of Dominik Livakovic from Fenerbahce in a potential big-money move. Sources have told Football Insider that Celtic have tabled an informal offer worth £7.6million to seal the goalkeeper’s signature as they look to replace Joe Hart after his retirement. Livakovic, 29, is a Croatia international and is currently representing his country at Euro 2024.

It is reported that the Scottish titans have conducted extensive conversations about a partnership as they strive to reach a final agreement.

 

Former Scotland defender Alan Hutton told Football Insider that if he performs well in the Euros, his value might skyrocket.

The move was hailed as “smart,” with Celtic potentially profiting handsomely from his sale in the future if his performances pique interest.

Last season, Livakovic made 47 appearances for Fenerbahce, keeping 21 clean sheets as they finished second in the league and reached the Conference League quarter-finals.

Livakovic has been a long-term target at Parkhead after Hoops icon Frank McAvennie, speaking to Football Insider, pushed the club to hijack his deal to join Fenerbahce last summer.

Now, Hutton has endorsed the team’s efforts to complete the sale, since they now have the finances to spend on a high-profile acquisition.

“If he kicks on and does what everyone expects him to do, it will be a good signing,” he told Football Insider.

“They may earn a lot of money from it.

“The Euros generally have an impact on that; if he gets there and does well, his worth may skyrocket, as we’ve seen before.

“It will be interesting to see what occurs.

“These are large sums, but I believe Celtic can pay that kind of money and fees, especially if they get money in.

“We’ll see how it develops, but Celtic have definitely got the scope to spend that kind of money.”

In other developments, Celtic has altered their focus after missing out on another goalie.
