HNK Hajduk Split has confirmed that Marko Livaja will remain with the club for the 2026/2027 season, resolving one of the biggest uncertainties at Poljud. The captain of Hajduk will join the preparations starting on June 15, 2026, and his stay is crucial for team planning for the new season. Livaja, who has become a key figure in Hajduk's game since 2017, has played 202 matches, scored 104 goals, and recorded 61 assists. His contribution in attack has been decisive, and his stay brings continuity to the team's development. The preparations will take place in Slovenia, where Hajduk will conduct the central part of their training until July 1. During this period, Hajduk plans to play several friendly matches, which will help coach Gonzalo Garcia quickly define the basic outlines of the team. Livaja's presence from the very beginning allows the coach to focus on play models without the added pressure of market decisions. Hajduk enters the new season with ambitions for European competitions, and Livaja's decision reduces the pressure on the coaching staff and the club's sporting policy.
