Liverpool sanction deal for midfielder with 10% sell-on clause

Liverpool have agreed a deal with Porto for the permanent transfer of midfielder Marko Grujic.

The deal will cost the Portuguese giants £10.5 million and the Reds have inserted a 10% sell-on clause, as reported by Neil Jones.

This news comes immediately after a deal for Tawio Awoniyi was agreed with Union Berlin, bringing a total of £17 million into the club.

Earlier this month, it was reported by the Daily Mirror that Liverpool are keen on selling the likes of Grujic and Harry Wilson this summer to build a transfer kitty for Jurgen Klopp.

It’s unclear what the Reds’ plans are for the remainder of the window, but there are now two gaps in the squad.

Grujic joined Liverpool back in 2016 at the age of 19 and made a total of 16 appearances for the club – which is also fittingly the squad number he was allocated for five years.
