La Liga side ready to sign Liverpool WONDERKID

Liverpool have got several fringe and academy players out on loan this season. The likes of Ben Doak and Lewis Koumas have enjoyed a degree of success from their Championship loans at Middlesbrough and Stoke respectively.

Loan spells can either provide precious senior minutes in anticipation of a promotion to the first-team picture or else give the club a chance to showcase their talents to waiting buyers.

One player expected to fall into the former category at the start of the season was Stefan Bajcetic. After a severely injury-disrupted 2023/24, Bajcetic joined Red Bull Salzburg under former Liverpool assistant coach Pep Lijnders.

However, the Spain under-21 international was recalled halfway through the season after Lijnders was sacked and amid difficulty in settling into Austrian football.

Bajcetic's tough LaLiga spell

The 20-year-old was instead placed at Las Palmas in LaLiga, where he has featured in both defensive midfield and centre-back for Diego Martinez’s side.

Despite Bajcetic enduring a torrid spell with the Canary Islands side to date - they are yet to win a game with him in the lineup - he is being eyed by a European football-chasing Spanish side for a transfer at the end of the season.

Bajcetic was a youth team player at Celta Vigo before opting for a move to Liverpool when he was 16.

And now according to Fichajes, Bajcetic could be set for an emotional return to his hometown club. The one condition attached to a potential deal is that Celta qualify for Europe.

Claudio Giraldez’s side are currently seventh in the top flight and are ready to execute a move for Bajcetic should continental football be secured.

It’s not yet known whether a potential move for Bajcetic would be a permanent deal or a loan. The midfielder is under contract until 2027 at Anfield and it remains to be seen whether he’s got a first-team future under Arne Slot.
