Dominik Livaković is set to return home, with Dinamo Zagreb reaching a full agreement with Fenerbahçe for the goalkeeper’s loan until the end of the season, per 24sata.
Dinamo will pay a €200k loan fee, with no buy option included in the deal. However, discussions over a potential permanent transfer are expected to take place in the summer.
The move marks a homecoming for Livaković, who previously starred for Dinamo before making the switch to Turkey, and gives the Zagreb side a major boost between the posts for the remainder of the campaign.
Livakovic playing for free until end of season. He forfeited 1.5 mill euros net to make sure he can get out of there and play at Dinamo for remaining season.
I can tell you right now Kotarski can not let in a goal for the rest of season and he still won’t start.
For Dalic as long as Livi is playing it will be enough.

Kotarski
Watched all the shots on target
10′ CB error – Lewy 1-on-1 with Kota and shoots – good positioning from Kota and kicks his leg out to save the shot
11′ shot deflected by his CBs leg which complete changes direction – Kota great reflexes to follow the ball and palms it out
15′ corner comes in – Kota should have caught the ball – but didn’t and there was a little rebound – but he was quick to react with his left leg and then grab the ball (the entire action is recorded as two shots)
37′ Yamal lob pass – Kota good decision making waiting then coming out and punching it – then saves a follow-up shot by Lopez
47′ two shots (separate actions) – one by Yamal – kind of easy save to make – follow-up by Bernal shot – nice save by his side down low – it looks easy, but the shot had some venom on it so needed strong hands
48′ Lewy Goal – I think Kota made the right decision as Lamal came direct on goal (after a sublime OMG pass from Olmo through 3 players) – he waited than took a couple steps forward and got big and stuck his right foot out to block a pass to centre and be in a position to save a shot on target – not sure Kota could have done much more or something different better – the pass lands to Lewy who scores – it’s probably more on the CBs not blocking that passing lane b/w Lewy and Yamal
60′ Yamal Goal – not sure why this wasn’t recorded as an OG (well Anonymous knows as they want to pump Yamal stats) – as Yamal takes a shot and deflects off the defender and from there there is nothing Kota can do as it loops into the corner of the net
63′ easy save from weak long-range shot along the ground
69′ Yamal nice pass to Lewy who whiffs the ball and draws a penalty – complete non-penalty BS – anyways, Kota reads Raphinha well and dives in the right direction – but the penalty was strong and he didn’t save it – at least he read and dove the right way – should he have saved it – not sure, but it was close (if his arms/hands were in the right path of the shot it would have been a save)
77′ brave save off a hard Cubarsi shot that was going in – he followed the corner in well and positioned his body at the post well
85′ will blame Kota a bit on this one – as he didn’t set up the wall correctly – he put three guys there – maybe there should have been four? and their placement was too far over near the post – they needed to be a couple yards more towards the centre to block the path – Rashford will a lovely strong free kick (where the wall should have been IMO) – Kota did read the free kick well and got over and a hand on it – but wasn’t enough
Overall – Anonymous think a strong to very strong performance by Kota – his decision making was very good and didn’t see him being needlessly over-aggresive but rather was taking an extra millisecond to read the play in front of him before reacting (comparing to what Anonymous saw vs. Tttenham) – he was brave in open play and on the corners – he made some really nice saves – out of the four goals – I wouldn’t blame him (or put differently think he could do much better/different) for the first three goals – on the fourth goal – if we are going to be harsh – Anonymous would blame him for setting up the wall – but from the actual free kick he did well to get over and get a hand on it (even though he didn’t save it) – maybe he should have saved the Raphinha penalty (it was a matter of hand/arm placement as he was in the right direction/area) if he saved that – the rating would be very strong to excellent instead
Very curious to hear if someone actually watched the match – how his distribution was – as during the Tttenham game it was outstanding
This is Anonymous’ best post so far. Sounds like Kotarski played very well.
Watched multiprjenos on Arena sport where they were switching from one match to another as goals were scored.
Agree with Anons summary in regards to Kotarski and his performance in goal. With the 4th goal and the free kick, the problem was that the players in the wall jumped and the ball actually went through them and caught Kotarski short on the near post.
Kotarski looks a mean and scary character with that Tattoo on his entire neck front and back. Looks just awful, not sure why people would do that ? crazy that’s all I can say.
Did you guys say baturina is playing the left flank??
Man why can’t we have another right winger potentially with mls pasalic
Perišić has played a lot on the right this season and does very well there. We also have Ivanović who plays well there
Jagušić also gravitates heavily on that right flank (according to all of his heatmaps).
Orsic is gonna go all world this summer
He’s motivated
He doesn’t have too much left in his career
He will stamp himself now
Orsic player of the match on both Sofascore (8.6) and FOTMOB (8.8). Wow.
I watched Ajax and Sutalo.
Sutalo looked just a little rusty to start, but I thought he played fine overall. Relatively steady. The Ajax defence seems a bit scattered or disorganized on the whole. I can’t say if that is a coaching problem or a player problem—others would know that, and perhaps could explain what the problem is there—but it seems Sutalo, in any event, is in the middle of a larger problem with the team’s defence that is not of his making. He was in no way a disaster and did not appear way out of form.
Does anyone who knows the game well have an opinion on how he played?
Anyway, I thought he played alright. He tried to stop the first goal with a tackle but didn’t seem to get much help from the other defenders around him. The second goal was a header and I don’t think he was to blame, but perhaps others will assess what his responsibility was on that play. The commentators seemed to suggest there should have been a defender on the far post to stop the ball, but I don’t think that was his role.
Oršić with a goal and an assist
Kotarski 4 saves vs Barca first half
Come on Dominik – you can do this – let’s show the Dwarf fetish crew what u can do when locked in – if he can shut out Barca that’s massive
45 min to go
PS Copenhagen scored early so it’s 1-0 – all he has to do is not to let a goal in and he beats Barca
Is it true that he made 11 saves in the match in spite of the 4 goals Barca scored? It seems like Kotarski was busy in any case. 28 shots (12 on target) and 10 corners against him?
No clue why that moron can’t read
Sutalo playing
Let’s go Josip – there is player in there – find ur confidence – and make ur country proud
Orsic too
I second that motion! C’mon Josip, turn this season around, we need you in form for WC 2026!
Didn’t know the lineups when I posted that lol relax. Try to get creative with your name and learn proper grammar. Sutalo has been shitalo all year anyways and let that first goal in with the poor clearance. Keep going cheerleader with these funny comments lol.
Another Croat striker
From 4th Germany to St Gallen
21 y/o Antonio Verinac
Unbelievable stuff
Handball Croatia 27 – Hungary 25, meaning that we win the group and are in the Semi Finals.
This match went down to the wire and was decided in the last minute when we stopped Hungary from equalising and then we scored to go two goals up and win the match.
Perisic start vs Bayern
Sutalo bench against Olympiacos
Sucic start vs Dortmund
Pasalic bench against Union
Kotarksi start vs Barcelona
Everyone is so pro Liva. Don’t get me wrong I am too but he hasn’t started and it’s almost February. Croatia can test out Kotarski in either friendly match in March or in June.
19 games left on Dinamo’s calendar and those are crucial for Liva.
Livakovic is going to the right place as he is just a homeboy. He does well in a comfort zone and being back in Croatia is the best thing for him. He will always hold a place in Croatians, hearts after that ‘22 Brazil game.
@IASucic
💥BOOOM!💥
It looks like Sandro Kulenovic is ‘one step away’ from joining @HellasVeronaFC
. Unless something unexpected happens, he’ll leave @gnkdinamo after @fcmidtjylland game this Thursday. Transfer fee from €3.5m to €5.0m. More to follow.
Liva is a key piece for WC 2026, whatever he needs to do to get his head right, do it. That kid has surpassed all us dummies saying he stinks including me. I doubted Liva and he has been rock solid in WC , give it to us one more time Liva, all the best.
Junior soprano: he never had the makings of a varcity athlete.
Assuming he can’t play in the Europa League??
I think he can, no?
He isn’t cup-tied to any other team, but I could be wrong.
Bennacer is also able to play in the next set of games now too.
Mark the date 2026-01-28 Maminjo saying he COULD BE WRONG the apocalypse is certain to be around the corner

Croatia will be represented by 14 athletes across four sports at the XXV Winter Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, taking place from 6 to 22 February 2026.
This will mark Croatia’s tenth appearance at the Winter Olympics under its national flag, continuing a tradition that began at Albertville 1992.
Alpine skiing will once again form the backbone of Croatia’s Olympic delegation, with six athletes qualifying, the largest single group within the team.
The women’s alpine team will feature Zrinka Ljutić, Leona Popović and Pia Vučinić, while the men’s team includes Samuel Kolega, Istok Rodeš and Filip Zubčić.
Croatian alpine skiers have historically delivered some of the nation’s greatest Olympic successes, making this discipline a central focus of expectations in Italy.
In cross-country skiing, Croatia will be represented by Tena Hadžić, Ema Sobol and Marko Skender, competing in the Nordic skiing events.
Croatia will also field three biathletes at the Games: Matija Legović, Anika Kožica and Krešimir Crnković, continuing the country’s growing presence in the demanding winter discipline that combines endurance skiing and marksmanship.
Two Croatian athletes have secured Olympic qualification in short track speed skating, Valentina Aščić and Katarina Burić, adding further diversity to Croatia’s sporting representation in Milan and Cortina.
More than 2,800 athletes from around 90 countries are expected to compete at the Games across 16 winter sports.
The 2026 Olympics will feature the Olympic debut of ski mountaineering, while the Nordic combined is widely expected to make its final Olympic appearance.
The opening ceremony will be held at San Siro Stadium in Milan on 6 February, while the closing ceremony is scheduled for 22 February in Verona, marking a uniquely Italian conclusion to the Games.
Crnković is on our Olympic team?
We know that guy!
Thanks for posting this, was wondering about our representatives here. Any genuine medal chances 🙏 ?
Last year I would have said that Zrinka Ljutic was a chance of getting a medal in alpine skiing, however this season she has been in awful form, and it will be a huge surprise if she wins a medal.
Liva’s on 80 p.w.
Really surprised Fene is only taking 2.5 wks of salary for 18 wks of work
Maybe Liva took a massive pay cut – otherwise the math don’t math
Anonymous is a F*CKING MATH GOAT !!!

Livaković has waived his salary at Dinamo, and he will not be paid by Fenerbahce either. He will only receive potential bonuses if the team achieves success. The key goal for Livaković was to return to Dinamo.
Andy Bara also handled his move to Dinamo Zagreb free of charge. [SN]
######
Apparently, Bologna made a bid for him. Anyone know why he didn’t want to go there?
Probably because he would start on the bench?
Reports suggest that Dinamo had an 8 million offer for Domingues and they refused to sell him?
I cannot believe that someone would offer that amount of money for him, and secondly that Dinamo would decline such an offer? The guy is useless as was on display in last year’s EL matches against Lille, Celta and more recently against FCSB.
I can’t believe they didn’t sell him.
But it may also be just talk, to get people interested in buying him.
Yes!, good news.
