" CARDIFF HOLD TALKS WITH LIVERPOOL "

Cardiff City have held talks with Liverpool about re-signing midfielder Marko Grujic on loan.


Thursday 28th June 2018

Grujic, 22, joined Cardiff in January and played 14 times as they secured promotion to the Premier League.

Liverpool are thought to be open to the idea of the Serbia international returning to the Cardiff City Stadium for a second spell.

The move depends on talks with Grujic when he returns from World Cup duty in Russia, with Serbia now eliminated.

Serbia finished third in Group E, their exit confirmed by a 2-0 defeat by Brazil.

Grujic has made eight substitute appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool since joining from Red Star Belgrade in a £5.1m deal in January 2016 when he became Jurgen Klopp's first signing as Reds boss.

Cardiff this week stepped up their Premier League preparations after agreeing fees for QPR goalkeeper Alex Smithies and Bristol City forward Bobby Reid.

Warnock has already signed Preston full-back Greg Cunningham and Norwich winger Josh Murphy since confirming promotion from the Championship.

I think he would be suited to the premiership especially if gunners is off

Gunnar has been appalling since returning from injury. Class is permanent but Grujic was much more influential so I'd take him and have him ahead of Gunnar maybe?

Absolutely agree on that.

I'd also like to have an experienced CM as back-up but I think Grujic would be even better suited to the Prem :ayatollah:

I agree, the Prem is more suited to his style. And we do need back up. Gunnar would be a good player to keep around but he'll struggle to start. 1 or 2 more CM's and we'll be fine there :thumbright:

Just read on a Liverpool page that Klopp is keen for Grujic to go to the premier league and Cardiff seem the best fit.

Hearing that when Grujic comes back from international duty Liverpool will give him the choice of where he wants to go.

He seemed to enjoy his time here last season, so for me it looks like it could be legs in this one

if true we could be waiting a good few weeks i think, not the end of the world, but hopefully the club are looking at other midfield targets, as we need more than one

I'd rather grujic than gunner but we need a big signing in the middle of the park.

Would love to see Snodgrass in our midfield. Get him on loan.

I wouldn’t want to see both of them sign as then we’d have the same midfield as last season (albeit with maybe one more added) and that wouldn’t be good enough imo.

Agree with this also but can’t see it happening. Although according to wez he’s having the longest medical in history with us at the moment.

I just replied to his post about that ha! Wez's mate is not in work so Snodgrass doesn't want to come in unless his mate is there !

Robin Van Persie and James Collins are coming in too aren't they?? They're probably on the same medical

I’d love to see him sign though.
This hot weather perhaps he’s stuck in traffic!

Get him in then just a RB and a striker needed.

You think the centre midfield would be good enough then?
It’s exactly the same as last years!

I agree, we need Gunnar to sign on (if not then replace him), Grujic back on loan and then an additional central midfielder. Along with the RB. Not sure we need another striker?

Yes mate I think we’ll struggle if we keep the same midfield as last season. No way good enough for the prem.
I’d like to see Gunnarsson gone and two centre mids brought in. I’m not a particular fan of Grujic but would take him over Gunnars all day long as long as we don’t HAVE to play him.

I certainly agree we need at least two midfield additions, preferably with Premier or similar experience. A creative playmaker is a must. There must be a lot of dead wood to ship out now and I hope Neil makes that a priority. However, I would be pleased if had Grujic back on loan and Gunnar stayed as a back up. I really would like a useful RB too.

Reid will be playing behind Zohore most likely and I’d be happy with the other two midfielders being Ralls and Grujic.

With a proper pre-season and playing in the premier league maybe Grujic will show what he can do , I am sure we only lost once (Villa) in games he played last season ?

Was at the Villa game and I’m pretty sure he didn’t start but I might be wrong
