Marko Grujić (Serbian Cyrillic: Марко Грујић; born 13 April 1996) is a Serbian football player who plays as a midfielder for SuperLiga club Red Star Belgrade, on loan from Liverpool.
Club career
Red Star Belgrade
Grujić is a product of the Red Star youth academy, where he went through the youth program, passed all categories and was the captain of his generation. He made his professional debut for Red Star Belgrade on 26 May 2013, in a Serbian SuperLiga match versus Vojvodina.[1] Up to the 2015 season, he played simultaneously with Red Star and lower-tier FK Kolubara on dual registration. On May 10, 2015, Serbian newspaper Blic reported that they had insider information that Hamburger SV intended to bid €1.5 million for Grujić.[2] A week later on May 17, 2015, Grujić signed a three-year contract with Red Star to last until 2018.[3]
Grujić scored his first senior goal against Novi Pazar. He also assisted Aleksandar Katai for the second goal in the last minute of the game. His next goal came in the next round against Spartak, an equalizer which lead to Red Star winning the match 3–2, and to a ninth consecutive victory. Grujić scored from long range against Rad in the King Petar I Stadium, his third consecutive goal. Red Star won the game 3-0.
Liverpool
On 6 January 2016, it was confirmed that Grujić completed his move to Premier League side, Liverpool.[4] He was immediately loaned back to Red Star, until the end of the season.
International career
Grujić was a member of the Serbia squad which won the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
