Well, Jurgen Klopp’s first-ever signing for Liverpool remains on the club’s books for now.
Marko Grujic is still a Liverpool player but the Serbia international has joined Porto on a season-long loan.

Interestingly, Klopp will still get to see how Grujic fares against elite Premier League opposition because the Portuguese giants were drawn against Manchester City among others in the Champions League.

The first meeting with Porto and City comes at Eastlands on the 21st of this month.
