Overview

• Reports from The Times, echoed by additional UK outlets, indicate Bajcetic will remain with Arne Slot's first team rather than depart on loan or permanently.
• Tyler Morton's sale to Lyon and James McConnell's expected loan to Ajax reduced holding-midfield depth and informed the decision.
• Bajcetic counts as club-trained for UEFA, helping Liverpool meet Champions League squad quotas to name a full 25-man list.
• The coaching staff have tracked his return from May hamstring surgery and plan a phased reintegration with likely minutes in domestic cups.
• Interest from Spain, including links to Girona, Valencia and Real Betis, had surfaced after an injury-hit period and mixed loans at Salzburg and Las Palmas.
