Report: Celtic ‘make £7.6m offer’ for Croatian Internationalist

Celtic have reportedly made an informal offer for Dominik Livakovic. The Croatian Internationalist is currently in Germany with the National Team after an impressive first season at Fenerbahce, where they finished second.

According to Football Insider, Celtic are looking at Livakovic as they look to find a replacement for Joe Hart. The report, which cites sources, claims that Celtic have bid £7.6m for the player.

Perhaps more tellingly, the report states that the clubs have engaged in extensive discussions about a deal and the formal offer could be forthcoming. Celtic have cast a wide search for a new goalkeeper with the quality to replace Hart and Livakovic has been repeatedly linked for some time.

Football Insider can be a bit hit or miss with transfer stories and it could be some conjecture after reports in Turkey linked Celtic with a return for the 29 year old.

The ex-Zagreb skipper left Croatia last season for Turkey but might be persuaded by a switch to Scotland. Although, he would have Champions League football available as well as the chance to compete for trophies.

Livakovic could be available should new boss Jose Mourinho deem that he requires another shot stopper. However, it is likely that the legendary manager will want to properly assess his team in pre-season before sanctioning any departures.
