Under Jurgen Klopp, 19-year-old midfielder Stefan Bajcetic has been carefully nurtured as a promising prospect due to his high potential. He hardly saw any time on the pitch last season due to injury, but went into pre-season looking to get more first-team action this season.
However, the Arne Slot regime has changed the abilities required at the bottom of midfield. Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones are used in the same position, while Wataru Endo is also waiting in the wings, and even if he stays at Anfield, there is no guarantee that he will get a game.
RB Salzburg were close to landing the Spanish midfielder, who was rumoured to have left on loan during the summer transfer window, but Fabrizio Romano reported that Barcelona had offered him a loan move after Marc Bernard’s long-term departure.
“Barcelona submit straight loan proposal to Liverpool for talented midfielder Stefan Bajcetic.”
“More exclusive details: loan bid worth €4m fee, NO buy clause.”
“After loan bid from RB Salzburg on Tuesday, now Barça try to make it happen after Bernal injury.”
