Livaković is anxiously awaiting the outcome of the drama, Barcelona has only two days to solve the problem!

The article discusses the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Barcelona's ability to register goalkeeper Dominik Livaković ahead of the transfer deadline. The registration process is critical because it would determine whether Livaković remains at the club alongside Wojciech Szczęsny as a backup keeper. If Barcelona fails to meet financial fair play regulations, they may have to loan out Livaković instead of signing him. With less than two days remaining before the deadline, the situation is complicated by the confirmation of Gabriel Jesus' transfer from Arsenal, forcing Barcelona to potentially choose between adding a forward or another goalkeeper. As of now, Livaković has not been registered, as he was not included in Barcelona’s squad list for their match against Rayo Vallecano. According to AS, his registration is expected to be delayed until the next squad announcement for the game against Valencia.

Croatian international Dominik Livaković trained with Spanish league champions Barcelona for the first time on Friday after signing a four-year contract with the club. The 31-year-old goalkeeper joined the team following his move from Turkish side Fenerbahçe and participated in a session involving players who had less playing time or did not feature in Barcelona's 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao on Thursday. This marked his official introduction to his new teammates, including fellow goalkeepers João García (25) and Wojciech Szczęsný (36), with whom he could share the backup role during the season. Livaković’s registration for La Liga remains pending due to Barcelona’s financial fair play constraints. If the club secures sufficient space within its financial regulations, he will be registered and compete for the second-choice goalkeeper position behind 25-year-old García. Otherwise, he might spend the season on loan and return to Barcelona next summer when Szczęsný’s contract expires. The deadline for transfers in Spain closes on Tuesday at midnight, leaving Barcelona with less than two days to resolve the issue. According to Spanish media outlet AS, Livaković was not included in the squad list for Barcelona’s upcoming match against Rayo Vallecano on Monday, indicating that his registration has yet to be finalized. The publication noted that his inclusion would likely be delayed until the next squad announcement for the match against Valencia. Meanwhile, Barcelona announced that Gavi did not train with the team on Saturday due to caution following a minor injury to his right leg sustained in his debut against Elche. The 22-year-old midfielder is expected to return for the game against Rayo Vallecano on Monday. Barcelona is being cautious with Gavi because the injury occurred on the same leg where he previously suffered a serious injury. Frenkie de Jong, who has been recovering from a knee injury sustained at the World Cup, continues to undergo conservative treatment to avoid surgery. The rest of the squad is in good health, with no new injuries reported after their win over Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona began their title defense campaign with a dominant 5-0 victory over Elche followed by a 2-0 win against Athletic Bilbao. Spanish international Dani Olmo celebrated his country's World Cup triumph in his hometown of Terrassa on Wednesday evening. The 28-year-old attacking midfielder expressed his ambition to win the Champions League with Barcelona this season. He shared the goalkeeper position with Livaković during their time together at Zagreb-based Dinamo from 2016 to 2020. Barcelona attempted to sign Argentine forward Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid but faced rejection. Instead, they signed Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal. Olmo acknowledged the situation with Atlético Madrid but emphasized that both clubs have their dreams and that external factors beyond control influence such decisions. He expressed confidence in a successful season ahead for Barcelona. Real Madrid, managed by José Mourinho, strengthened its squad after failing to win any trophies last season. Both teams aim to achieve success in Europe, with Barcelona seeking to reclaim the Champions League title, which they last won in 2015.

Livakovic is training with Barcelona, but he's not registered for La Liga yet.

Hrvatski vratar Dominik Livaković je prvi put trenirao s novim suigračima u Barceloni nakon što je potpisao četverogodišnji ugovor s klubom. Iako je sudjelovao u treningu, njegov status još nije riješen jer ovisi o financijskom fair-playu i mogućnosti registracije za La Ligu. Ako se registrira, može se boriti za mjesto drugog vratara iza Joana Garcíje. U suprotnom, može sezonu provesti na posudbi, a sljedećeg ljeta se vratiti u Barcelonu. Trenutno nije registriran za nastup u La Ligi, a prijelazni rok traje još četiri dana.

Olmo fired up the Barcelona fans: 'We're going for the trophy we've been waiting for ten years!'

Danijel Olmo, španjolski nogometni reprezentativac koji je nedavno osvojio Svjetsko prvenstvo, bio je počastovan u rodnom gradu Terrassie. U intervjuu novinskom redakciji, Olmo je izrazio svoje ciljeve za budućnost s Barcelonom, uključujući obradu naslova i ciljanje Lige prvaka. Njegov novi saradnik na poziciji vratača je Dominik Livaković, prethodno igrač Dinamo Zagreb. Barcelona je odbila transfer argentinskog napadaca Juliana Alvareza, umjesto toga dovedena je brazilska zvezda Gabriel Jesus. Olmo je izrazio nezabrinutost prema odnosima s Atleticom zbog pokušaja dovođenja Alvareza, ali je istaknuo da život nastavlja. Real Madrid, koji je pojačao svoju ekipu pod trenera Jose Mourinho, također ima ciljeve za europske uspjehe.

Why objectivity (45): The article has a clear bias towards Olmo, using phrases like 'zapalio navijače' (lit. 'ignited fans') and 'sjajan igrač' (great player) which are emotionally charged. It also frames the situation with Atletico Madrid as if Barcelona was wronged, showing a lack of neutrality.
