Liverpool Stand to Gain From Potential Transfer of Former Midfielder Stefan Bajcetic
Liverpool coudl receive an unexpected financial boost following reported Premier League interest in Stefan Bajcetic, currently playing for Olympique Lyonnais (OL). the 23-year-old midfielder, who left Anfield in August after a period where his opportunities were limited, is now attracting attention from Crystal Palace, according to reports in france.
Bajcetic made 14 appearances for Liverpool, including five in cup competitions last season under arne Slot. He initially enquired about a potential move earlier,but was informed by the manager that the situation wouldn’t change. A shoulder injury further complex a mid-season exit. Ultimately, he was allowed to depart following Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the Far East.
French publication Jeunes Footeux reports that Palace are “preparing for the post-Adam Wharton era” and view Bajcetic as a potential replacement should the england international leave.
OL’s general manager,Michael Gerlinger,recently acknowledged the club’s financial difficulties,confirming “financially,things are not going very well,” after a triumphant appeal prevented relegation to Ligue 2. this situation could make Bajcetic’s sale attractive to the French club.
While Bajcetic is reportedly happy in France, Premier League interest could appeal to the enterprising young player.Crucially, Liverpool included a sell-on clause in the transfer agreement, meaning the club stands to benefit financially from any future move. Bajcetic has made a “sparkling start” to life in France despite OL’s financial issues.
