Real Betis in talks with Liverpool to negotiate a midfielder

Last summer, Barcelona failed in a deal to sign Stefan Bajcetic from Liverpool. Six months later, the 20-year-old is ready to move to La Liga.

Financial problems prevented Barcelona from reaching an agreement for Bajcetic, who ended up signing for RB Salzburg. However, Fabrizio Romano reported that Liverpool are ready to terminate that loan deal and are now in talks with Real Betis to reach an agreement for the rest of the season.

Betis have struggled in midfield in recent months, having had to deal with injuries to William Carvalho, Marc Roca and Johnny Cardoso. The arrival of Bajcetic, who was previously at Celta Vigo before his move to Liverpool, would ensure that manager Manuel Pellegrini has more depth in the pivot position.

Betis hopes to close this agreement as soon as possible. On paper, it would be a very good operation for all parties.
