Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujić is set to reject Crystal Palace’s advances in favour of a second loan spell with Cardiff, as reported by the Express.
The Serbia international joined Cardiff in January, helping the Bluebirds to promotion to the Premier League via a second place Championship finish.
Now the 22-year old is set to re-join the Welsh side on another temporary loan deal.
Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock is optimistic a deal can be struck, and believes he can turn the midfielder into a top-flight star.
Talking about the prospective deal, Warnock said:
Liverpool have made it clear they’d like Marko to come with us and there is an agreement in place. It’s just about him agreeing now.
Liverpool want to extend his contract and he’s not overly keen on that because he’s already got three years left to run.
I spoke to Marko on Tuesday so we are optimistic and we will know more in the next few days. If he’s going to go on loan, he’ll come to us and I think it will all be resolved.
I’m sure Liverpool will make a decision soon and it would be great to get him in before we play Real Betis next Saturday. He’s the priority and I will be disappointed if I don’t get him.
