Liverpool are considering selling Marko Grujic, ESPN report.

The Reds are looking for as much as £35 million for the midfielder, with Atletico Madrid said to be interested.

Grujic has been out on loan at Hertha Berlin this season and has impressed.

Managing to get £35 million for Grujic would in the short term be unbelievable business from Liverpool.

Grujic has barely featured for the Reds’ first team and last season went out on loan to Cardiff City in the Championship.

It would represent a major profit for Liverpool and see more acclaim fall at the feet of transfer chief Michael Edwards.

Yet it would not be a sale without risk.

Grujic is a big talent, that’s why Jurgen Klopp made him his first signing for Liverpool in January 2016 and why the Reds have persisted with trying to coax the best out of him.

Now as he looks to be hitting form, would Liverpool be selling at the wrong time?

The calibre of team interested, Champions League regulars Atletico, tells it’s own story.
