Liverpool talent pens emotional letter ahead of imminent exit – ‘it pains me to let you down’
Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic has penned an emotional message after Las Palmas’ relegation to the La Liga 2. The Spaniard has been on loan in the Canary Islands after his ill-fated temporary spell with RB Salzburg.
The 20-year-old was allowed a loan move at the beginning of Arne Slot’s tenure after he was forced to sit out of the majority of Jurgen Klopp’s final season in charge of Liverpool through injury. He followed former Reds assistant manager Pep Lijnders to Austria, however his time was cut short during the Janaury transfer window after he was limited to 895 minutes in 19 appearances.
