Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic is edging closer to returning to Porto.

A Bola says the switch is closer than ever before after negotiations made a positive step.

The Serbia nternational is already aware of an agreement between Liverpool and Porto, which may allow him to return to the club for a fee of around €13m.

That figure is midway between the €10m the Portuguese side wanted to pay and the €17m that Liverpool were initially asking for.

He's happy to make a return, having been 'very satisfied' with his loan spell last season and has already shared tales of his experience with friends in Serbia.

It's expected his future should be shaped over the course of the next week as the midfielder is due to report for pre-season training with Liverpool the day after tomorrow.
