Middlesbrough has expressed interest in Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic, as they prepare for Hayden Hackney's potential transfer to Everton. Bajcetic, who is under contract with Liverpool until 2027, is seeking regular playing time after facing injury setbacks in recent seasons. The Championship club sees Bajcetic as a viable option alongside Everton's Harrison Armstrong, aiming to fill Hackney's expected departure. Liverpool will assess Bajcetic's physical condition during pre-season before deciding on the next steps, which could include a loan or a permanent transfer.
