This week, The Sun reported that Liverpool will consider selling their Serbian talent Marko Grujic. They claim that Liverpool would consider letting him go if an offer of £4.5 million came in for his services.

The talented 22-year-old, who spent time at Cardiff City on loan last season, is currently with German side Hertha Berlin on a deal until the end of the season.

But just as it is reported that Liverpool could get rid of him, he goes and makes an impact in Germany.

He scored his first goal for the club yesterday in a 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. Grujic rose above everyone to head home from a corner and give Hertha the win. It takes the capital club into sixth position in the Bundesliga, level on points with Frankfurt in fifth.


“I like the boy a lot. He has made progress like hell.

“His heading is outstanding but he doesn’t make the squad a lot which isn’t the best thing for him for sure…

“I really see Marko in the future playing for Liverpool.”

Jurgen Klopp on Marko Grujic in January


Jurgen Klopp has previously admitted he is a big fan of the player. He even mentioned his heading, which was clearly on show yesterday.

But since his move to Anfield from Red Star Belgrade, which according to Sky Sports set the Reds back £5.1 million, in 2016 he has played just 14 times for the club.

He will hope this goal kickstarts his Germany career and leads to success on Merseyside.
