Dominik Livakovic never had the opportunity to try himself abroad, he was the custodian exclusively for Croatian clubs, but after what he has shown at the World Cup in Qatar, he could finally make a transfer to Europe. And not to just any club, but to Bayern Munich!The deal is far from agreed upon; in fact, it is only in the initial phase, but… German Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg, who specializes in the football market, reports under the vignette “exclusive” that the Bavarians have established initial contact with the representatives of the Dinamo Zagreb keeper.❗️Excl. News #Livakovic: Talks between his management and Bayern have already started! In order to replace Neuer. Early stage … @SkySportDE 🇭🇷 pic.twitter.com/hsQ6Kquwnv— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) December 12, 2022 A reminder – Bayern are looking for a goalkeeper since Manuel Neuer broke his leg while skiing at the end of last week on vacation and thus brought his season to a close. The German champions have two goalkeepers available in the team, Sven Ulreich and Johannes Schenck, but neither is good enough to take over the role of first-choice goalkeeper at the moment. Alexander Nubel might do the job as a temporary solution, but Bayern loaned him to Monaco this summer and forgot to leave an option in the deal to bring him back during the season.There can be only one…And that’s why – Livakovic. Bayern’s top man Oliver Kahn attended the World Cup quarter-final match between Croatia and Brazil, where Livakovic played like never before in his career, and although the German media at first rejected the possibility of the Bavarians hiring him, apparently the legendary goalkeeper concluded that Dominik was up to the challenge of being Bayern’s no.1.##NAJAVA_MECA_6886335##After all, the Croatian goalkeeper proved at the World Cup that he is ready for the big stage. The only question is whether the Zagreb club will manage to negotiate as they usually do, given that Livakovic’s contract expires in a year and a half. But as his club and national teammate Mislav Orsic said after the match with Brazil – ‘if they don’t sell him now, they never will.’Internally, not everyone at Bayern is totally convinced that Livaković is the perfect Neuer replacement. Yann Sommer’s name was discussed, as well as Keylor Navas, but the internal opinion at this stage: too old & too expensive [@Plettigoal] pic.twitter.com/MC8CYIyraZ— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) December 13, 2022
