Getafe in talks to sign Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic
Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic is the subject of transfer discussions with Getafe, as reported by football journalist Fabrizio Romano, with the structure of a potential move still under negotiation.
Football journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Spanish club Getafe have opened talks to sign Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic. The negotiations are taking place within the final two weeks of the summer transfer window, with the LaLiga outfit currently discussing a formula for a potential transfer. It remains unclear whether the arrangement would be structured as a loan or a permanent signing.
Bajcetic, 21, has not featured in a matchday squad since the tail end of the 2024/25 season due to persistent injury problems. The midfielder resumed training with Liverpool ahead of the club’s pre-season tour to the United States and travelled with the squad, but did not feature in any matches during the tour. This absence deprived him of an opportunity to impress current manager Andoni Iraola during the preparation period.
The 21-year-old broke into Liverpool’s first team as an 18-year-old shortly after the 2022 World Cup, delivering a standout performance in a derby win in early 2023. However, his career momentum has stalled following a series of injuries, and he has since fallen down the midfield pecking order. His situation has been compounded by the strong form of Trey Nyoni, and even the potential sale of Curtis Jones to Inter Milan has not secured Bajcetic a prominent role in Iraola’s plans.
Getafe are evaluating the move as Bajcetic seeks to return to his homeland. Without further details regarding the value of a prospective offer or the specific terms of the deal, it is difficult to assess whether Liverpool would sanction an exit. The decision ultimately hinges on whether Getafe can convince the player that the move offers greater prospects for regular game-time than remaining at Anfield.
Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp previously described Bajcetic as a pure joy to work with, highlighting the high regard in which the player was held during his earlier career. As the transfer window closes, the focus remains on whether a concrete agreement can be reached between the clubs and the player, or if the midfielder will remain in Liverpool’s squad as a backup option for the upcoming season.
