Overview
- Liverpool and Celta have confirmed a permanent transfer for Stefan Bajcetic, with Celta announcing he will be registered with Celta Fortuna until June 2029.
- Journalists report the deal carries a base fee of about €1.5 million plus performance add-ons and that Liverpool have retained contractual levers such as a buy-back or sell-on percentage.
- Bajcetic’s progress at Liverpool was disrupted by repeated muscle injuries and surgeries, and loan spells at Red Bull Salzburg and Las Palmas failed to restore his continuity in senior football.
- Liverpool chose to sell with one year left on his contract to secure a fee rather than risk losing him for free, and Celta see the reserve-team route as a lower-pressure way to rebuild his fitness and minutes.
- If Bajcetic regains consistent fitness and form, the reported buy-back mechanism gives Liverpool a clear path to re-sign him while Celta get time to manage his recovery and potential resale value.
