The father of Liverpool youngster Stefan Bajcetic has stated they didn t expect Barcelona to come in for the midfielder, and they were all ready for him to instead move to RB Salzburg.
Bajcetic made a useful start to life as a Premier League player two seasons ago. The 19-year-old played 11 times in the English top flight in 2022/23, scoring his first goal, in just his second game.
Last season, though, a long-term calf injury meant he was able to play just three times in all competitions.
As such, it is a surprise that Barcelona have now entered the fold for Bajcetic. Fabrizio Romano revealed a £3.4million approach for the Spaniard, and the midfielder s father has since confirmed the La Liga giants interest.
We didn t expect Barça to enter the race we have all ready to go to Salzburg. But we still don t have any info on what s going to happen,
I d like Stefan to play for a top club like Barça or same Liverpool, he s ready for top clubs.
But while Bajcetic s father wants him to make a big-club move if he is to leave Anfield this summer, it seems Barcelona is unlikely to be his next location.
RB Salzburg have approached him for a loan, and according to Romano, that move has a good chance of going through.
