Liverpool want to sell Marko Grujic in the summer transfer window, according to Berliner Kurier.

It has been reported that Liverpool made contact with FC Porto over a permanent deal for the 25-year-old midfielder.

However, Hertha Berlin are reportedly interested in signing the Serbia international on a permanent contract.

Grujic’s market value is now €14 million (£12.03 million), according to the report.

The midfielder spent the 2018-19 and 2019-20 campaigns on loan at German club Hertha and the 2020-21 season on loan at FC Porto.

Grujic has done well out on loan and has played pretty regularly.

The Serbian has made only a handful of appearances for the Liverpool first team in the Premier League so far in his career.

It is hard to see Grujic establish himself in manager Jurgen Klopp’s first team now.

After all, the Serbian is now 25.

It would make sense for Grujic to leave Liverpool on a permanent basis and find a new club which he has call home.

Hertha are an established club in the Bundesliga, and a move to the German side could see Grujic flourish.

Grujic is still quite young, and he could become better in the coming years.

The Serbian needs stability in his career now, and going out on loan to different clubs is not giving him that.
