# Grujic still has heart set on Liverpool success

Marko Grujic has been enjoying a fruitful spell on loan in the Bundesliga.

Since joining Liverpool in 2016, the central midfielder had spent time on loan at Cardiff last term, before securing a season-long move to Hertha Berlin for the 2018/19 season.

It took a Serbian a while to get going in Germany, but the 22-year-old has appeared in six domestic matches since the league’s resumption after a winter break, impressing in those first-team chances.

[Speaking to ESPN,](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/club/liverpool/364/blog/post/3769448/marko-grujic-determined-to-make-it-at-liverpool-as-hertha-loan-flourishes) the Belgrade-native said:

> Of course, it’s nice to hear the praise, especially from people at the club because they are with you every day and they rate you — as a player and person,

> If I keep performing like I do now, then there are more chances to come back to Liverpool for another season,

Speaking of his Liverpool career, Grujic said:

> I think \[there is a\] plan for the future,

> From every chat we had so far, I thought that they really think about me.

> Maybe I was expecting to play a bit more, but so far I’m happy how I improved in that time. Of course, my target was to be a regular player of Liverpool and I’m still thinking I can do that.

> In life, it never comes without any issues or problems. It will come, I’m sure. I’m still young, 22, and the time works for me.

> We know how Liverpool play with one No. 6 and a double eight and I’m not really bothered about that. I can play both positions. In preseason we will see what is the best for me and for the team.

A lofty, physical midfielder, one wonders what a midfield featuring both Grujic and Fabinho might look like.
