Why Barcelona failed to sign Liverpool youngster Stefan Bajcetic this week
Stefan Bajcetic was surprised with a surprise loan move to FC Barcelona this week, yet the Liverpool youngster will instead be heading to RB Salzburg.
RB Salzburg have rea🌜ched a loan agreement with Liverpool 🦋to sign Bajcetic for the season, wi♓th the Spanish youngster set to link-up with former Reds’ assistant manager Pep Lijnders in Austria.
With Barcelona interested in Bajcetic, the decision to join Salzburg has come across as a surprising one for some supporters, though there’s no denying that the Red Bull-owned club are arguably the best option when it comes to the Liverpool talent’s development.
And details have now emerged on why Barcelona failed to sign Bajcetic.
Barcelona unable to guarantee Bajcetic would be registered
According to , Barcelona were unable to promise Bajcetic tಞhat he would be registered to play in La Liga due to the Catalan giants horrific financial woes, with big summer signing Dani Olmo only now cleared to play.
With Bajce𝔉tic at a precious point in his career where every minute in a professional game is valuable for🌼 his development, the uncertainty in surrounding Barcelona, even with how big the club are, is understandable.
Moreover, the prospect of joining Salzburg and playing under a familiar coach in Lijnders🎀 is an appealing proposal for a talent like Bajcetic, who could become a regular for the Austrian side this season if he hits the ground running.
Indeed, Salzburg’s track record at developing players is one of the best in Europe, and Bajcetic could see his game come on leaps and⛦ bounds this season if Lijnders trusts the midfielder to do a job in the coming months.
Bajcetic is making the right decision in joining Salzburg
As big a club Barcelona are, there’s no denying that the Camp Nou side are still an absolute shambles, with the Catalan giant’s finances as bad as they have ever been from the outside l♊ooking in.
And for Bajcetic, 💛the decision to join Salzburg over Barcelon🙈a is the right one for the 19-year-old midfielder, who is making a good call in leaving Liverpool to get regular first-team minutes.
The Austrian side have an incredible record of developing youngsters, and Ba🥃jcetic could join that list if he puts his head down and gets to work in playing as many minutes as possible.
