Neil Jones downplays Liverpool pursuit of Alan Varela as Stefan Bajcetic returns.

Neil Jones dismissed links between Liverpool and Porto midfielder Alan Varela with Stefan Bajcetic playing an important role next season.

Liverpool are scouting FC Porto defensive midfielder Alan Varela to bolster their midfield during the upcoming summer transfer window

He required a vigorous and special approach to build up physically to compensate for the demands of the senior level.

Liverpool considers Bajcetic an important player for the already well-stocked squad.

“Stefan Bajcetic, who has recently returned to action, and I believe he is an important player to think about when discussing Liverpool’s midfield plans

He is only 19, has already made an impression on the first team, and has the skills and versatility to play as a No.6 or a No.8, depending on the needs of the team. He is viewed internally at Liverpool as a big player for the future, and I expect him to have a significant role to play going forward, and therefore a significant impact on the club’s transfer plans in midfield.”
