Several Liverpool squad members still face uncertain futures as the summer transfer window deadline approaches, with final decisions expected imminently.
Stefan Bajcetic has attracted considerable interest from La Liga, and Girona are currently leading the race for his signature.
Nonetheless, Liverpool have signaled that their intention is for Bajcetic to remain at Anfield and continue developing, following his previous loan at Las Palmas.

The Dutch club reportedly paid €1.5m/£1.2m for the loan.
And now an update has emerged in another fringe player in Harvey Elliott.
DaveOCKOP previously reported that RB Leipzig and the 22-year-old had postive discussions earlier this month.
