Red Star Belgrade confident Marko Grujic will complete Liverpool move

Red Star Belgrade are confident Marko Grujic will complete his move to Liverpool.

The Serbian club confirmed last week that Liverpool had beaten Anderlecht and Stuttgart to Grujic.

The club said in a statement: “In the last 10 days we have received three formal offers for the transfer of our player Marko Grujic: from Anderlecht €2m (£1.47m), Stuttgart €5m (£3.7m), and from Liverpool received an offer worth €7m (£5.1m) and 10 per cent of the next transfer.

“All in Red Star sincerely want Marko Grujic to stay for the next 10 years, but the financial situation of our club dictates the adoption of a different decision.

“The board considered the offer and unanimously accepted the offer of the English giants.

“Liverpool will pay the money immediately, and the player will stay in Red Star until 01/07/2016.

“We wanted to respect the desire of the player's father Marko Grujic remain until next summer at our club and we agreed to pay Liverpool €1m (£750,000) for the loan of six months."
