Richard Hughes has made up his mind: Super midfielder to leave

Richard Hughes has made up his mind: Super midfielder to leave Andoni Iraola is coming to Liverpool as new head coach - replacing Arne Slot. And the Spaniard will provide a clean slate to all players on the books - offering the chance of a fresh start to those on the fringes. Harvey Elliott for example may come in from the cold - and there will be extra chances for the likes of James McConnell and Trey Nyoni to impress. Among that contingent was expected to be Stefan Bajcetic . Bajcetic fighting to be fit for preseason The 21-year-old hasn’t played for the Liverpool first team in over two years - owing to loan spells of varying degrees of success and several injury setbacks. The Spain under-21 international is going to be finally fit for preseason - with it being an added bonus that so many contenders for a place in the team are away at the FIFA World Cup. However Bajcetic - who joined from Celta Vigo in 2020 - is now being linked with an exit . David Lynch for Anfield Index claims that the tempo-setter has simply missed too much football and won’t be taking part in first-team activities. Bajcetic will leave claims David Lynch “I think with Stefan, either a loan or a permanent move this summer,” he stated. “I think permanent is on the table, just because he’s missed so much football. I don’t think Liverpool think he’s going to get to where they want him to be. “But it could just be if there’s not enough interest in a permanent, they allow him to go on loan and create a market for himself that they can then cash in on down the line. “I wouldn’t expect him to be involved with the first team at all.” Bet £10, Get £30 in Free Bets Open an account and place a qualifying bet of £10 at min odds of 1/5 (1.2) or greater. 18+New UK/ROI customers.
