Marko Grujic has agreed to spend a second season on loan from Liverpool at Hertha Berlin.

The Bundesliga side announced on Monday that the 23-year-old midfielder will be staying at the club for the 2019-20 campaign.

“I wanted to stay at Hertha, so I’m happy that it’s all worked out well,” Grujic said via Hertha’s official website. “I’m looking forward to the new season and will work hard in pre-season, so that we can achieve more success next season.”

Head coach Ante Covic added: “We’re delighted that Marko is staying here for another year. He was excellent in the centre of midfielder last season.

“As he is still young, I believe that he can still develop a lot and Hertha BSC is the right club to do that at!”
