Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic is close to sealing a return to Porto after the two sides reached an agreement on a €13m deal.
That’s according to A Bola, who say that a return is closer ‘than ever before’ after negotiations reached a positive conclusion.
The newspaper explains that the Serbian International is already aware of an agreement between Liverpool and Porto, which may allow him to return to the club for a fee of around €13m.
That figure is midway between the €10m the Portuguese side wanted to pay and the €17m that Liverpool were initially asking for.
It’s expected his future ‘should be shaped over the course of the next week’ as the midfielder is due to report for pre-season training with Liverpool the day after tomorrow.
That should speed things up, but with a deal now in place and Grujic having enjoyed his loan spell last year, it’s felt Porto have ‘some advantages’ over the competition and can get him back.
