As Liverpool experiences a summer marked by several high-profile departures, another player is looking to leave Anfield before the transfer window closes next Monday.
Since the end of last season, players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher, Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez have permanently left the Reds, while Vitezslav Jaros, Harvey Davies, and Lewis Koumas have gone out on loan.
While Richard Hughes continues to pursue potential deals for Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi with just eight days left in the transfer window, there could be one or two more exits from Merseyside in that period.
Bajcetic aiming to leave Liverpool in the final days of the transfer window
According to Estadio Deportivo, Stefan Bajcetic is targeting a move back to Spain during the last few days of the transfer window, with his intentions clear.
The 20-year-old midfielder is nearing the end of his recovery from a hamstring injury that required surgery, which has kept him out since mid-May. This injury caused him to miss all of Liverpool’s pre-season, denying him a chance to impress new manager Arne Slot.
Girona is one of several clubs showing strong interest in Bajcetic, with additional interest coming from teams in Portugal and Italy. It remains uncertain whether he will leave on another loan deal or through a permanent transfer to join a long-term project.
A loan move could be best for Bajcetic’s development
Bajcetic impressed when breaking into Liverpool’s first team in the 2022/23 season, but injuries in recent years have hindered his progress at Anfield.
Last season, he was recalled from a loan at Red Bull Salzburg before quickly moving to Las Palmas, where he earned praise for some excellent performances despite the club’s relegation from La Liga.
Given the fierce competition for midfield spots at Liverpool, Bajcetic is unlikely to get much playing time if he stays, so another loan could be the best option, provided the club taking him on offers regular minutes.
Although Liverpool has shown a tendency to sell fringe players for significant fees—highlighted by the recent £25m sale of Ben Gannon Doak to Bournemouth—it would be preferable not to give up on Bajcetic entirely.
It seems likely that the Spanish midfielder will secure a move away from Merseyside before the deadline. Ideally, this would be a loan move, allowing him to have an injury-free season with consistent game time and return ready to make a strong impact like he did two and a half years ago.
