There was a time when senior staff within Kirkby and Anfield genuinely believed Stefan Baj?eti? was destined to anchor Liverpool’s midfield for the next decade. Spanish local outlet Faro de Vigo, considered exceptionally well-connected regarding Celta’s internal operations, reports that the La Liga outfit require the player to terminate his contract at Anfield which runs until June 2027 in order to complete the transfer on a free.

If Baj?eti? arrives on a free transfer, Spanish league regulations permit Celta to register him initially with their B team, Celta Fortuna, who compete in Spain’s third tier (Primera Federación). If it happens, great.” Giráldez’s sentiment was mirrored by Celta Fortuna coach Fredi Álvarez, who underscored the midfield opening available for the former academy product: “We need a central midfielder, and we know Stefan can perfectly fill that position.

Stefan is a player who knows the club and whom we know, so hopefully, it can happen.” Recouping value vs pragmatism: Liverpool’s transfer dilemma For Liverpool’s sporting hierarchy, agreeing to a mutual contract termination requires careful internal balance. The Reds initially paid £224,000 to sign Baj?eti? from Celta’s academy in December 2020, beating out competition from Manchester United just days before post-Brexit transfer regulations came into force.
