Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic will join Premier League rivals Cardiff City on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported that Cardiff – who won promotion from the Championship at the end of last season – have agreed a loan deal in principle with the Liverpool over the Serbia international.

The British tabloid has reported that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of the 22-year-old midfielder, but the German is claimed to want him to continue his development at the Bluebirds.

Good decision from Liverpool?

With competition for places in the Liverpool midfielder fierce, it makes sense for the Reds to send Grujic back to Cardiff on loan.

The Serbia international midfielder spent the second half of last season on loan at the Cardiff City Stadium and helped the Bluebirds win promotion from the Championship.

Playing regular competitive football in the Premier League is only going to help Grujic, who earns £18,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com.

Grujic has been on the books of Liverpool since January 2016 when he joined from Red Star Belgrade for a transfer fee reported by The Independent to be worth £5.1 million.
