Confirmed: Marko Grujic returns to Hertha

As we wrote a couple of days ago, Marko Grujic is returning to Hertha Berlin next season. The Serbian midfielder had returned to Liverpool from Hertha once the 2018-19 ended and immediately started rumours of where he could go next. First it was confirmed from Liverpool that the player would be going on another loan before getting a better chance in Liverpool’s first team and several clubs were mentioned.

Grujic was a target for three Bundesliga clubs – Hertha, Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt, who had had some big success signing Serbian talents recently. Atalanta also wanted to see Grujic in their ranks, especially since they will be playing Champions League football this season. Even Galatasaray was briefly in that conversation.

But on Monday, Hertha confirmed what we announced last week – Grujic’s return to German capital. Grujic will spend 2019-20 season at Hertha, where he had a good previous season, therefore will not need time to accustom to new surroundings.

Marko Grujić will return to Berlin!

He made 23 apps for Hertha in 18-19 & hopefully he'll continue to grow as a player, this time under Ante Čović. #LFC #Bundesliga pic.twitter.com/oGWeZ5Kovo
