Liverpool have confirmed that midfielder Stefan Bajcetic has handed a new long-term contract at Anfield, , just five months after signing his previous deal.
The 18-year-old is enjoying regular first-team opportunities under Jurgen Klopp this season and has received numerous accolades for his impressive performances.
Bajcetic has made 10 senior appearances for Liverpool this season, scoring his first goal in a 3-1 Premier League win over Aston Villa on Boxing Day.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Liverpool would reward the Spaniard’s rise with a new and improved offer, and the Reds have now confirmed his extension.
Bajcetic is believed to have signed a four-and-a-half year extension until the end of the 2026-27 season, and he has expressed a desire to remain in Merseyside red for many years to come.
“Obviously I’m so, so happy, so excited to keep playing for this club and hopefully I can play more years together. Me and my family are very proud to sign a new contract with this club,” Bajcetic told liverpoolfc.com.
“It feels amazing. It’s something I’ve been dreaming of in these two years I’ve been here and something that I’ve been working hard [for] as well.

Bajcetic joined Liverpool from Celta Vigo’s youth academy in December 2020, and he made his first-team debut off the bench in the Reds’ 9-0 thrashing of Bournemouth in August.
The teenager also started Liverpool’s 1-0 FA Cup third-round replay win over Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this month, receiving praise for his composed performance.
Bajcetic started ahead of Fabinho in last weekend’s Premier League match against Chelsea, playing 82 minutes of the goalless draw at Anfield.
