Report Claims Celtic Have £7.6m Livakovic Bid Accepted

This is a report from a Turkish outlet.

Celtic have reportedly made significant progress in addressing their goalkeeping situation, with a bid accepted for Fenerbahce’s Dominik Livakovic. According to Turkish outlet Fotomac, the Premiership champions have reached an agreement to sign the Croatian international, potentially filling a crucial gap left by Joe Hart’s retirement following the Scottish Cup Final victory over Rangers.

Brendan Rodgers has been looking for a top-tier successor, and it appears Livakovic could be the answer. Currently representing Croatia at Euro 2024, the 28-year-old’s future at Fenerbahce appears to be determined, with the player apparently indicating a wish to leave after a successful title-winning season. Livakovic, who joined the Turkish club from Dinamo Zagreb only a year ago, could now be heading to Glasgow.

The reported fee for the goalkeeper stands at €9 million (£7.6 million), a substantial investment for Celtic. The move could be a shrewd piece of business, especially considering the player’s calibre and experience on the European stage.

Fenerbahce, led by Jose Mourinho, has reportedly reached a €3 million “agreement in principle” with Juventus’ Mattia Perin to replace Livakovic for the upcoming season. Media outlets in Scotland have not confirmed the report.

Confirmation from Celtic or reputable sources remains pending. If Celtic do manage the signing it would mark the club’s first of the summer, as Rodgers prepares his squad for the Champions League group stages and a defence of their domestic title. Should this deal come to fruition, it would undoubtedly be a major coup for Celtic, securing a goalkeeper of Livakovic’s pedigree. The move would not only address a critical need but also bolster the team’s aspirations.
