Anthony Joseph has named Croatia Zagreb goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic as a Celtic transfer target.
The 28-year-old had an outstanding World Cup helping Croatia to the semi-finals, strangely he was one of the few home based players in the squad which included Josip Juranovic and Luka Modric.
Fiorentina have been strongly linked with Livakovic recently but no deal has yet gone through with the ‘keeper under contract until June 2024 which suggests that he could be on the move this summer.
Celtic are in the market for a goalkeeper this summer.
It’s understood one target being monitored closely is Croatia & Dinamo Zagreb No1 Dominik Livakovic, who has a year left on his contract.

There has been conflicting interpretations of the goalkeeping situation at Celtic where Joe Hart has been virtually unchallenged over the last two years, playing 72 out of 76 SPFL matches and all 12 UEFA group stage matches.
Brendan Rodgers spoke warmly of the former England ‘keeper yesterday but at the age of 36 and in the final year of his contract it is a position that needs attended to.
Should Hart pick up an injury there would be quite a drop in standard of Ben Siegrist or Scott Bain was called in. Siegrist played two League Cup ties last season with Bain losing four goals in his only SPFL appearance.
Livakovic joined Dinamo Zagreb from city rivals NK in 2016, he now has 45 international caps.
