Bristol City are considering allowing Stefan Bajic to leave on loan this month which is likely to have an impact on Dan Bentley's immediate future, Bristol Live understands.
Reports in French publication Mercato claim French Ligue 2 side Valenciennes are in discussions with the Robins to sign the 21-year-old temporarily until the end of the season. Their goalkeeping coach, Jeremie Janot, worked with Bajic while he was coming through the ranks at St-Etienne.
Bajic has made just one senior appearance for City following his arrival on a free transfer from Pau in the summer. He was handed his debut in the 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat to Lincoln and has impressed during his time with the Under-21s.
