According to ESPN, Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic on a permanent deal this summer.

Grujic is currently on loan at Hertha Berlin, and has scored four times in 20 Bundesliga appearances during the 2018-19 campaign.

According to ESPN, Atletico are keen to sign the 23-year-old, but the Reds value Grujic in the region of £35m, which could prove to be an issue.

The Liverpool fans have been on social media offering their views on the transfer report, which has come as a bit of a surprise.

A number are keen for Grujic to be given his chance to secure a spot in Jurgen Klopp's midfield next season, but others feel that it would be some story if the club's sporting director Michael Edwards managed to secure £35m for the midfielder.
