Liverpool are in line to confirm a few outgoings in the near future and leading that line would be Anfield outcast Marko Grujic who is inching closer towards signing for FC Porto on a permanent basis.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the Serbian international midfield player is set to join his long-term suitors in FC Porto who were backed to be the frontrunners for landing his signature this summer.
Grujic was keen on Porto move despite Sassuolo interest
The Liverpool midfield is understood to be keen on securing a move to Porto where he spent the last season on loan away from Anfield and presented himself to be a pivotal figure in the midfield department for the Portuguese heavyweights.

Grujic’s desire for a Porto transfer comes amid strong interest shown in the 25-year-old from Serie A outfit Sassuolo who were on the lookout for a replacement for Manuel Locatelli’s imminent move to Juventus.
Jurgen Klopp backed to offload his fringe players soon
Following Grujic on the way out of Anfield in the very near future could be the likes of Harry Wilson and Nat Phillips, both of whom seek regular first-team football ahead of the start of the upcoming campaign.
Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi is another player set to complete his move away from Liverpool this summer with German club Union Berlin in line to complete his signing on a long-term deal.
