Dominik Livakovic's manager at Dinamo Zagreb has hinted that the contract-rebel goalkeeper might be on the move. Manchester United has been in touch with Livakovic.
In reality, David de Gea had virtually little control over Alexis Mac Allister's penalty kick during last week's heartbreaking 1-0 loss at Brighton & Hove Albion.
However, De Gea's somewhat dismal track record from 12 yards is becoming another rod with which some United supporters are beating the increasingly prone goalkeeper after he failed to stop any of the Seagulls' penalties during the FA Cup semi-final.
Dominik Livakovic, the star of Croatia's march to the 2022 World Cup semifinals, cannot be accused of missing a penalty kick.
Sportkse Jutarnji reports that Livakovic has no present plans to renew a contract that ends in 2024. The three clubs that have initiated discussions thus far are Man United, Villarreal, and Fenerbahce.
With all due respect to Livakovic's other suitors, United are probably his top choice.
Igor Biscan, a former Liverpool midfielder who most recently took over as Dinamo Zagreb's head coach, says that "if there are offers that are good for the club and the players, then there are usually departures" (MediaServis).
"That has always been the case, and it still is. I want to have the best team possible to begin the new season as a coach. The fact, however, is what it is.
Andre Onana of Inter Milan, Bart Verbruggen of Anderlecht, David Raya of Brentford, Diogo Costa of Porto, and Leopold Wahlstedt of Odd are reportedly being considered by Manchester United.
According to The Daily Mail, United may try to replace the heavily criticized De Gea with a more reasonably priced option. One is available at around £15 million.
Due to that release provision, Livakovic most definitely checks that specific box.
