Bajcetić's Father: "We Were Ready for Salzburg, But Barcelona's Interest Threw Us a Curveball"

Stefan Bajcetić's father has revealed that the family was prepared to move to Austria with Red Bull Salzburg before Barcelona entered the race for the young midfielder's signature. Speaking to RAC1, the player's parent expressed surprise at the Catalan club's interest but also emphasized his desire for his son to play for a top-tier team.

"We didn't expect Barcelona to enter the race. We had everything ready to go to Salzburg. But we still don't have any information on what's going to happen," he said.

Bajcetić, a promising talent who has impressed at Liverpool's youth level, has been linked with both Barcelona and Salzburg. The player's father made it clear that he believes his son is capable of playing for a top club like Barcelona or Liverpool, stating, "I'd like Stefan to play for a top club like Barcelona or the same Liverpool. He's ready for top clubs."

As the transfer window continues, it remains to be seen whether Barcelona will be able to secure Bajcetić's services. The young midfielder's father's comments suggest that the decision is still up in the air, and that the family is keeping their options open.
