Barcelona interested in signing Liverpool star on loan as they look to beat RB Salzburg to deal for highly-rated Spanish midfielder

Barcelona are interested in signing a Liverpool midfielder on loan before the transfer window slams shut.

The Spaniard had appeared set to join RB Salzburg on loan but could now head to Barcelona instead, after Hansi Flick’s side showed an interest in bringing the player to LaLiga.

Salzburg are managed by former Liverpool assistant boss Pep Lijnders, who rates the player highly having naturally worked closely with them. 

Barcelona boss Flick is eager to add to his midfield options before the closure of the transfer window.

The player is in need of game time, which could lead to him departing Anfield on a temporary basis.

Barcelona are looking to sign Stefan Bajcetic on loan from Liverpool.

Bajcetic, who has made 22 senior appearances for Liverpool, struggled with injury last season. 

He made his debut for Spain Under-21s last year.

The prospect has been at Liverpool since 2020, when he joined from Celta Vigo’s academy. 

Salzburg have already signed Bobby Clark from Liverpool but they may miss out on a deal for Bajcetic.
