Stefan Bajčetić, who broke into Liverpool's first team in 2022, has completed a permanent transfer to Celta de Vigo for an initial fee of €1.5 million plus add-ons. The 21-year-old defensive midfielder, born and raised in Vigo, had one year remaining on his contract with the Reds. Bajčetić's promising debut season in 2022-23, where he made 19 appearances, was cut short by an adductor injury. Subsequent seasons saw him struggle with recurring fitness issues and a lack of form. He spent the 2024-25 season on loan at RB Leipzig, making 19 appearances, before a second loan spell at Las Palmas. Despite the arrival of new manager Andoni Iraola, Bajčetić failed to secure first-team opportunities in the 2025-26 season and during pre-season, leading to his departure. Celta de Vigo offers him a chance to revitalize his career in his hometown.
