It seems increasingly likely that Red Star Belgrade midfielder Marko Grucic will be Jurgen Klopp's first signing for Liverpool. The 'excellent' 19-year old midfielder dropped a massive transfer hint this week, and new reports today suggest that the Reds have taken another concrete step to seal the deal.
According to The Mirror today:
"Ian Ayre [has flown] to Belgrade to finalise a £5m deal for Marko Grujic. Liverpool...will immediately loan him out to Red Star for the rest of the season".
Liverpool transfer timeline:
Dec 8: Grucic confirmed that he'd had a 'talk with Liverpool' about a transfer to Anfield.
Dec 14: Serbian newspaper Mondo claimed that Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign 'excellent' Grucic.
Dec 15: Serbian sports portal Telegraf claimed: "Marko Grujic was agreed all terms with Liverpool. The transfer should soon be formalized".
Dec 16: Grucic dropped a massive hint that the deal is done.
This type of signing fits Klopp's transfer MO: cheap, relatively unknown, and capable of being moulded into a top-class player. Unfortunately, Liverpool fans will have to wait another nine months to see Grucic in action in a competitive game.
Let's hope he's worth the wait.
