Marko Gruijic

Klopp’s first signing is a replacement for Gerrard

Goal.com is reporting that there is a deal in process between Liverpool and Red Star Belgrade for midfielder Marko Gruijic. The deal is expected to be signed and sealed within the next few days and Marko has been rumored to be taking over the no. 8 shirt and get an annual salary of €1.2 million (£5 million deal overall). Once the deal has been done Gruijic will be loaned back to Red Star but will be on a 5 year contract with Liverpool.

Should Liverpool be loaning out new signings with their current track record? The Reds are not showing great form at present with their last victory back on 29th November against Swansea. This trend looks set to continue as Liverpool take on table toppers Leicester on Boxing Day.
