Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic is set to join La Liga side Las Palmas on-loan, Rousing The Kop understands.
Bajcetic has spent the first half of the season with RB Salzburg, but has fallen out of favour at the Austrian club.
As RTK exclusively revealed earlier this month, Bajcetic has grown unhappy at Salzburg and had been keen to find a new club for the second part of the campaign.
And having engaged in talks with several clubs, the 20-year-old has decided that Las Palmas represent the best option.
Fellow La Liga club Getafe are understood to have shown an interest, but having seen the success of Wolves loanee Fabio Silva this season, both Liverpool and Bajcetic believe the Canaries club to be the best option.

Bajcetic has not played a minute of competitive football for Salzburg since mid-December.
With the Spain U21 international out of the picture for the Red Bull club, Liverpool are understood to be on board with his wish to move on.
The Reds are keen for Bajcetic to get as much game time as possible this season and have been involved in the selection of a new club.

For their part, RTK understands that Salzburg have also agreed that Bajcetic leaving is the best course of action this month.
The midfielder is expected to complete his move before Monday’s transfer deadline.
All in all, Bajcetic has played 18 times for Salzburg since arriving during the summer window.
With five appearances in this season’s Champions League, Liverpool are understood to have been happy enough with the midfielder’s game time.
However, a move to La Liga will represent a new challenge for Bajcetic, as he pits himself up against the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Having been promoted in 2023, Las Palmas will not be expected to challenge those giants anytime soon.
But sitting in 16th place under manager Diego Martinez, they are holding their own.
A run of five games without a win is poor form for the Islands club, but staving off relegation is very much the aim.
