Stefan Bajcetic, a midfielder for Liverpool, has agreed to a new, long-term contract with the team.
The 18-year-old moved to Liverpool from Celta Vigo in late 2020 and has since made it to the first team.
Prior to the 2022–23 season, Bajcetic trained with the senior team, and he has made 10 appearances thus far.
With Jurgen Klopp’s team, his remarkable performances have earned him a new contract, and Bajcetic admits he is enjoying a season that has beyond his expectations.
“It’s crazy [how quickly things have happened],” he told the club’s official website. “A year ago I was playing Under-18s football, and now I’ve started some games [and] made my debut.
“[I have] even scored a goal. That was something I never expected to happen this year. It’s amazing to see how fast it went.
Congratulations, Stefan 👏 pic.twitter.com/5N56zVPxxI

Late in August, following the Reds’ 9-0 thrashing of Bournemouth in the Premier League, Bajcetic made his senior debut.
He has since made numerous more Premier League appearances for Liverpool and scored a goal in their Boxing Day victory over Aston Villa.
His extension is the most recent deal for Klopp’s team, who only made one significant signing during the midseason window when they acquired Cody Gakpo from PSV.
This weekend’s FA Cup action for Liverpool includes a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round on Saturday.
