La Liga outfit Celta Vigo are closing on a deal to bring in an up-and-coming member of the midfield ranks at Premier League giants Liverpool.
The Reds talent inching towards Vigo? Stefan Bajcetic.
The name of youngster Bajcetic will of course be a familiar one to those of a Celta persuasion. This comes with the 21-year-old having spent seven years honing his craft in Galicia, prior to departing for Anfield back in the summer of 2020.
After initially being tipped for a bright future in England owing to a string of impressive early performances, however, a combination of fitness woes and competition for places have since seen Bajcetic fall out of the plans of the Liverpool coaching staff.
The Spaniard, in turn, has been heavily linked with a potential return to his home country across the summer to date. And as alluded to above, with just days remaining in the window, such a transfer finally looks set to come to fruition.
As per a report from transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano:
‘Celta Vigo are closing in on personal terms agreement with Stefan Bajcetic to join from Liverpool.’
