SHOCKING NEWS: Liverpool star has left Liverpool on a deadline deal to join La Liga side.

Liverpool’s performance against PSV showcased the depth of talent within the squad, but Stefan Bajcetic’s situation highlights that there is even more quality beyond Merseyside.

With Pep Lijnders recently dismissed from his role at Red Bull Salzburg, it became evident that things had not been going smoothly for the Austrian side. This fueled speculation about where Bajcetic would spend the remainder of the season, and we now have the clearest update yet.

According to James Pearce of The Athletic, Liverpool and Red Bull Salzburg have mutually agreed to terminate Bajcetic’s loan, with the midfielder now set to join Las Palmas for the rest of the campaign.

Meanwhile, Bobby Clark might be feeling unsettled, having seen Lijnders, Bajcetic, and Vitor Matos all depart within the past six months, raising questions about his own future at the club.

For Bajcetic, a return to Spain makes complete sense. The move brings him closer to home, offers a more familiar environment, and ideally provides the platform to rediscover his best form.

Bajcetic Pushed for the Exit

The report also suggests that the decision to leave Salzburg was primarily driven by Bajcetic himself rather than the club. Given the option between Las Palmas and Porto, he chose to return to Spain.

This indicates that Liverpool trusts his judgment regarding the best step for his development. The Spain U21 international may have watched Tyler Morton and James McConnell impress in Eindhoven and felt frustrated at missing out on Liverpool’s season.

However, the priority for Bajcetic now is to demonstrate that he can maintain both his form and fitness at the senior level—something that has yet to be fully tested. While illness has been the only obstacle to his playing time so far, the hope is that he can now establish himself as a regular performer in La Liga and make the most of this opportunity.
