Andoni Iraola yet to make decision on 21-y/o Liverpool sensation, time is running out

Andoni Iraola has not yet made a decision regarding 21-year-old Liverpool sensation Stefan Bajcetic. The start of Liverpool's 2026-27 Premier League season is less than a week away, and their opening match is against Newcastle. Both teams have seen significant changes in their squads due to the departure of key players. With the transfer deadline day rapidly approaching, decisions need to be made to avoid having too many players for the available space.

Liverpool's midfield has been a major problem area, with Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch underperforming last season, leading to a potential shift in the team's formation. Adam Wharton and Lamine Camara were previously considered, but their deals have not materialized. Curtis Jones and Trey Nyoni are also potential signings.

However, the future of Stefan Bajcetic remains uncertain. Last season, Gravenberch struggled in the defensive midfielder role, and Bajcetic, who had been a star player under Jurgen Klopp before injuries and a lack of form, could potentially fill that void. If Bajcetic can regain his peak performance, he could solve Liverpool's number six issue for the 2026-27 season at the very least.
