The Serbian midfielder is highly rated at Liverpool.
Liverpool Under-23 manager Michael Beale has told the club’s official website that it is clear to see that Marko Grujic has a bright future at Anfield.
The Serbian became the first signing of Jurgen Klopp’s reign at the club when he agreed to a deal in January this year.
He had to wait until the summer to arrive at Merseyside, with the German boss personally attending a hearing to ensure that the 20-year-old was handed a work permit.
He has since impressed in a handful of appearances for the Reds, scoring a superb header in a win over Barcelona in pre-season.
This week saw him turning out for the Under-23s and development boss Beale is predicting a very bright future for him at the club.
“We welcomed Marko Grujic into our squad as he gained a valuable 90 minutes against United,” he told the club’s official website.
“I was really impressed with Marko, with his stature, his composure in possession and he provides a real threat with his passing.”
“Marko is a player you can see has got a really bright future at Liverpool. I only met him the day before he was coming into our squad and I was so impressed with him.”
It remains to be seen in Grujic can break into the Liverpool first team before too long. He faces a fight to do so, with the current squad well-stocked when it comes to central midfielders.
The likes of Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum and even Adam Lallana have all starred in that position this season.
Klopp will have no desire to change that at this moment in time, but if Grujic continues to impress as he has done then it would not be surprising to see him in the first-team picture before too long.
