Liverpool are yet to agree a deal for Marko Grujic as Stuttgart make a £5million bid for the Red Star Belgrade midfielder.

The Mail report that the 19-year-old is understood to have held talks with Reds representatives and is keen on a move to Anfield, with Liverpool’s outline proposal a £4.3m offer plus the player remaining on loan until at least the summer.

However, Stuttgart have made a £5m offer plus bonus payments and Inter are also interested in the Serbia Under 21 international.

Grujic, who has netted five times so far this season and possesses a towering 6ft 3in frame, discussed his future earlier this week and said: “I’ll try to respect the club, the fans and the general public, but again I think that for myself I have to choose the best environment where I get the chance to play and where I work with good coaches in good conditions.

''It is certain that I remain here until the end of qualifying for the Champions League. I had a talk with Liverpool but I did not receive yet any agreement. I’m still a Red Star player.”
