Stefan Bajcetic

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has taken a shine to Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic, sources have told TEAMtalk, but the Scottish Premiership champions are in danger of missing out on Go Ahead Eagles winger Jakob Breum.

Kieran Tierney, Ross Doohan, Callum Osmand, Benjamin Nygren, Hayato Inamura and Shin Yamada are the new players in the Celtic squad, as manager Rodgers aims to win the Scottish Premiership, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup in the 2025/26 campaign




Having established themselves as the dominant force in Scottish football over the years, Celtic will also be determined to negotiate the Champions League play-off round and make an impact in the league phase of Europe’s premier club competition next season.

Celtic are still actively looking for more players in the transfer market, with sources telling TEAMtalk that the Hoops set their sights on Liverpool midfielder Bajcetic.

The 20-year-old defensive midfielder has been at Liverpool since 2020, but the youngster has yet to establish in the first team and was on loan at Red Bull Salzburg and Las Palmas last season.





Sources have told TEAMtalk that Liverpool are open to letting the highly-rated 20-year-old Spanish midfielder leave in the summer transfer window, with a loan-to-buy deal being the likely structure.

However, Bajcetic’s high valuation could pose another challenge for Celtic, who are cautious about overextending their budget.

The young midfielder’s potential and versatility make him an attractive prospect for former Liverpool manager Rodgers, but negotiations are expected to be complex.

Bajcetic is under contract at Liverpool until the summer of 2027, having signed an extension in January 2023.

The youngster has been able to make only 22 appearances for the Liverpool first team, scoring one goal in the process.

 

The chances of us signing anyone highly rated from Liverpool are slim to * none.

 

Had a bad injury then his loan wasn’t great either.

Not been the same player since his injury.

Not a fan of this move, had the potential but then his development has stalled.

The only thing about it is he is a holding type player.


If anything we should be looking at Tyler Morton for the holding role

 

Way out our price range bud, Lyon in for him

 

This came from a random tweet from an awful source.

There shouldn’t even be a thread on it.

 

Unless…… theirs still outgoings

Well aye. Bringing in loans to sell more players would be like the boards dream scenario.

 

I know we're a massive brand but honestly we're not Real Madrid, Barca i.e., not immune to using the loan system. Might not be for the right reasons and might be due to failings by the board in the first place but honestly hate the snobbery by some when the word loan is used...
