Atletico Madrid are preparing a move for Liverpool midfelder Marko Grujic.

ESPN says Atletico Madrid are lining up a bid for Grujic.

The 23-year-old has impressed on loan at Hertha Berlin this season, making 20 appearances.

Grujic joined Liverpool in 2016 for £5.1m but ESPN believe the Reds would now value the Serbian at around £40m.

Atleti have identified Grujic as the ideal replacement for Saul Niguez and Rodri, who are both touted with moves away this summer.
