Marko Livaja (born 26 August 1993) is a Croatian footballer who plays as a striker for the Spanish club Las Palmas.
Livaja began his professional career with Internazionale in 2011, having played in the youth academies of various teams in Croatia and Italy. Unable to fully break into the Inter Milan team, he spent a short while on loan to Lugano soon after joining Inter, and the first six months of the 2011–12 season on loan to Cesena (who co-owned Livaja along with Inter). In January 2013, after he had made six league appearances for Internazionale, Atalanta B.C. bought out Cesena's stake in Livaja and he joined their senior ranks.
Livaja has played for Croatia at every level from the under-15s to the under-21s but has not yet made his adult international debut.
Livaja began at lower-tier Croatian sides GOŠK Kaštel Gomilica and NK Omladinac Vranjic before getting a call to the Dinamo Zagreb Academy in the summer of 2008. However, before he was registered for Dinamo he received a call from his hometown club Hajduk Split Academy,long-standing rivals of Dinamo, and moved there. At the beginning of 2010, he was promoted to the full Hajduk team.
Later in 2010 (after joining the full Hajduk team) Livaja was sold to Internazionale, who loaned him to Swiss side FC Lugano in 2011. He was loaned again to Cesena in summer 2011 through a €250,000 deal from Hajduk Split, and made his Serie A debut for Cesena against ACF Fiorentina in October 2011. Livaja played for Cesena in both their primary team and their youth team.
