Bajcetic returns to Celta after Liverpool deal to 2029

Celta Vigo have announced this Monday the return of Stefan Bajcetic after reaching an agreement with Liverpool to secure his transfer. The midfielder, 21 years old, signs with the Galician club until June 2029 and will, at least initially, play for the B team.

As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Bajcetic came through Celta’s youth ranks before leaving in January 2021 for Liverpool. In England he developed through the system and made it to the first team at just 17. With the Reds he played 22 matches, scored one goal, and debuted in the Champions League.

Back to Vigo

After his time at Liverpool, the player also went through other stops in Europe. He moved on to the RB Salzburg and later to UD Las Palmas. In Las Palmas’ colours he featured 14 times, logging 975 minutes in LaLiga 2024-25.

The timing matters because the article notes that Celta’s B side is competing for the first time in its history in LaLiga Hypermotion this season. With that in mind, Bajcetic’s arrival looks like a significant boost for the club’s second squad as he adapts to Spanish football from Vigo.

The next step is how quickly he integrates and how prominent he becomes week to week in league matches, but the key point is already locked in: the deal is agreed and the contract runs through June 2029, according to Mundo Deportivo.
