As the days go by, the only thing Liverpool are still talking about is Jude Bellingham and when the Borussia Dortmund gem will finally be able to wear the red shirt and make his debut at some point in the 2023-2024 season, taking it for granted that the solution to the midfield problems will be solved by the England international alone, leaving aside those players who are trying to earn the trust of the manager and his fans every day.

Although it is true that there are some players who, no matter how many opportunities they have been given, have never been able to shine, there are others whose lack of activity on the pitch has been the main impediment to making Klopp see the great quality they have, aspiring not only to be one more option for their coach, but rather to be the solution to the team's problems, wanting to avoid the arrival of Bellingham who would surely send them back to the substitutes' bench.

With the inconsistency of the midfield throughout the season, Klopp's latest bright spot is Stefan Bajcetic, a young midfielder of great quality who has begun to steal the spotlight to the point of being considered a genuine starting option recently, with the Reds and Klopp wanting to see his youngster's true potential by renewing his contract and possibly starting him in Sunday's FA Cup clash with Brighton.

At the moment the young Spaniard is seen by Klopp only as an alternative route that can improve the group with his interventions on the pitch, but even though Bajcetic knows his current position, the number 43 wants to have as much participation as possible to the point of earning a place in the starting line-up and make his coach believe that the option of bringing Bellingham to save the midfield has been resolved with his football deployed.
