Rising Liverpool star Stefan Bajcetic had a number of options in front of him when he left Celta Vigo in 2020, including Manchester United, but says it was a very easy decision to move to Anfield.

The 18-year-old has emerged in the Liverpool first team this season, making nine Premier League appearances so far and looking like he has a long and bright future at the club.

Clearly still very young, Bajcetic was catching the eye years ago back in Spain and a number of clubs were trying to sign him from Celta Vigo, including the team he will face on Sunday in the Premier League, Manchester United.

However, the midfielder says that when Liverpool came calling there was only going to be one answer.

‘It’s the English Clasico, no? It’s a massive game,’ Bajcetic told The Times. ahead of the Reds hosting the Red Devils this weekend.

‘I’m at Liverpool now, I’m just focusing on that and I don’t want to talk about other clubs. But, yes, when I heard that Liverpool wanted to sign me, there was nobody else to decide on. This was the only one.’

Bajcetic is making great early strides in his Liverpool career and has thanked one teammate in particular for his help.

Compatriot Thiago Alcantara has been a huge impact on the teenager so far and Bajcetic is extremely grateful for the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich midfielder being around.

‘Since I came here, since I trained that first day, I have always talked to [Thiago],’ Bajcetic said. ‘I’m Spanish, so I wanted to speak and he has been helping me a lot.

‘Thiago has been massive for me, to give me confidence. He introduced me to the other players and I am learning a lot from his game. It is all so good.’
