Chelsea have reportedly made contact about signing Dinamo Zagreb goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.
According to Media Foot, the Blues have set their sights on the 27-year-old player.
The report claims that Chelsea have now opened discussions with the shot-stopper’s representatives to gauge a potential transfer.
Chelsea make contact about Dominik Livakovic
Livakovic, who turns 28 next month, is a player now firmly on the Chelsea radar.
The gloveman played twice against the Blues earlier this season in the Champions League group stages, impressing in both matches.
He’ll be familiar to plenty of football fans as well now due to his eye-catching performances on the World Cup stage this winter for Croatia.
He played every minute for a Croatia side that finished third in the World Cup at Qatar.
Livakovic helped Croatia win two penalty shootouts during the knockout stages, which included heroics to beat Japan with three saves in one shootout. Incidentally, international teammate Luka Modric described him as “miraculous” after the Japan win.
The transfer speculation certainly seems to point towards Chelsea targeting a new keeper.
According to the Daily Mail this week, Graham Potter’s side are interested in a potential move to land Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
In our view, Kepa Arrizabalaga deserves this opportunity during the second half of the season to prove he can be Chelsea’s long-term number one goalkeeper.
