Decision meeting in Split: is this the definitive end of Mark Livay?

The Croatian football club HNK Hajduk Split is facing uncertainty ahead of their first European match of the new season due to a conflict involving star player Marko Livaja. Livaja has been involved in several controversies, including refusing to attend a photo session for the team's new jerseys, declining to sign a new disciplinary code, and participating in a late-night celebration during the World Cup that extended beyond allowed hours. This led to tension during training, where coach Gonzalo Garcia punished other players by making them run laps, but Livaja refused and had a heated argument with sports director Robert Graf. The situation escalated further when Livaja was asked to complete his punishment upon returning to Split, which he perceived as a public humiliation. He then left the training facilities angrily. Today, Livaja, Garcia, and Graf are expected to make a decision regarding his future with the club. Public opinion suggests that the relationship between Livaja and the club may be irreparably damaged, and a mutual termination of his contract could be the best solution for both parties.
