Liverpool have opened talks with Celta Vigo regarding a potential move for Stefan Bajcetic, but the Liverpool Echo notes that the Reds face a race against time to get a move agreed.

Bajcetic is attracting plenty of attention from the Premier League.

The Liverpool Echo reports that the Liverpool scouts have been impressed by the 16-year-old, while Manchester United also have him on their radar.

It has been suggested that the champions have now opened talks with Celta over a potential move. However, Liverpool do not have the luxury of waiting around before finalising a deal.

The Liverpool Echo notes that clubs will be unable to sign under-18 players from overseas from January. So of course, they need to complete a deal before the turn of the year.

Deal may have already been agreed

The Liverpool Echo’s report seemingly hints that there is work to be done before a move is finalised. But reports from elsewhere suggest that a deal is actually a lot further down the line.

Spanish outlet La Voz de Galicia has claimed that a move to Anfield is agreed. It is suggested that it could be announced imminently.

It would appear to be an exciting deal if a move is completed. Liverpool have a number of incredibly talented young players coming through, and the pathway to the first-team is most definitely there for those in the academy.
