According to BZ Berlin, Hertha Berlin are weighing up a permanent move for Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic following successful loan spells in Germany.
The Serbia international is back at Liverpool after spending the season at Hertha.
Grujic joined the Reds on a contract until 2023. But he has failed to make the grade at Anfield, spending a year out on loan at Cardiff City and two years in Berlin.
The 24-year-old is still relatively young and has the potential to improve.
But BZ Berlin claims Klopp wants to find a resolution for the player.
The global health pandemic has affected finances in football. Grujic, who was previously valued at £18 million, has seen his price fall to the £13 million region.
Hertha reportedly now view him as an opportunity, and the club weigh up the idea of signing him permanently now rather than seeking a potential third loan.
In Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Gigi Wijnaldum, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita, Liverpool are stacked with quality options in midfield.
It would be tough to see how Grujic can expect to break in at the Premier League champions.
The Serb has already spoken of a desire to remain at Hertha. BZ quote him as saying “We will see what is possible. From day one, I felt like I was part of this club.”
Grujic made 29 Bundesliga starts this season, posting four goals and one assist as the capital club finished in a respectful tenth position.
