Sassuolo want Liverpool’s Marko Grujic to replace Manuel Locatelli

Fabrizio Romano has claimed on Twitter that Sassuolo are interested in signing Marko Grujic from Liverpool in the summer transfer window. The well-known and well-respected journalist has reported on the social networking site that Italian club Sassuolo want Grujic to replace Manuel Locatelli, who has interest from Juventus and Arsenal.

Grujic has been on the books of Liverpool since 2016, but the Serbia international midfielder has yet to establish himself in the former Premier League champions’ first team. The 25-year-old has been out on loan at Red Star Belgrade, Cardiff City, Hertha Berlin and FC Porto in recent years.

It is hard to see Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp include Grujic in his first-team squad for next season. It would make sense for the Merseyside club to sell the Serbian now and get some transfer fee in.
