Cardiff City Signs Roko Simic from Salzburg

Cardiff City has signed striker Roko Simic from Red Bull Salzburg for an initial £1.7 million, with additional potential add-ons, and will loan him to sister club KV Kortrijk. The 20-year-old Croatian, who has previously played in Switzerland and Austria, is viewed as a long-term investment for Cardiff, with hopes he could become their first-choice striker next season after a year of development in Belgium. Meanwhile, Liverpool's Stefan Bajcetic has joined Red Bull Salzburg on a season-long loan, where he will work under former Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders. Bajcetic, who has faced injury setbacks, aims to help Salzburg achieve success in both the league and the Champions League. The transfers reflect a strategic approach by both clubs to enhance their squads through young talent and international experience.
