Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic is prioritizing a return to La Liga in order to revive his career after fitness setbacks and limited opportunities under Liverpool manager Arne Slot. The 20-year-old, who began his career in Celta Vigo's youth system before joining Liverpool in 2020, spent last season on loan at Red Bull Salzburg and Las Palmas. He missed almost the entire 2023/24 season due to injury and underwent surgery at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Among Spanish clubs interested in Bajcetic, Girona have emerged as the frontrunners to secure the midfielder on loan for the upcoming season. Girona's manager Michel views Bajcetic as a key part of his plans and the club is keen to strengthen their squad despite financial limitations. Other clubs like Celta Vigo and Valencia have also shown interest, but Girona appear best placed to offer Bajcetic the regular playing time he needs to regain form.
According to various reports, Bajcetic himself favors the move to Spain, believing that a consistent run of games in La Liga would be the ideal environment to relaunch his career after his injury break. Liverpool are expected to allow the loan move, recognizing the midfielder requires regular minutes that they cannot currently provide. Bajcetic remains under contract with Liverpool until 2027 and hopes that another season of development in La Liga will enable him to return as a stronger contender for a first-team role at Anfield in the future.
In summary, Stefan Bajcetic’s priority is to join Girona on loan in La Liga for the 2025/26 season to restart his career, with the Liverpool club supportive of this move as a pathway to regain his best form.
