Fulham are interested in Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic following his loan spell with Cardiff City, according to reports.

The Serbian spent the latter half of the 2017-18 on loan in South Wales, featuring 14 times for the Bluebirds as they secured promotion into the promised land of the Premier League.

He has been included in Serbia's 23-man squad for the upcoming World Cup, with his side set to face Costa Rica, Switzerland and Brazil in the Russia tournament.

And ahead of the global showpiece, Goal.com claim Slavisa Jokanovic's side are interested in the man who spent the second half of last season on loan with the Bluebirds.

Grujic - who bagged his first Bluebirds goal in a 2-1 win over Barnsley in March - moved to Anfield from Red Star Belgrade in the summer of 2016 and still has two years remaining on his current deal with Jurgen Klopp's men.

He made six appearances in all competitions for the Reds last term prior to his loan switch to the Welsh capital.

It's understood that Klopp is willing to let Grujic leave Merseyside once again on loan for the 2018-19 campaign, although any decision on the 22-year-old's future is unlikely to be made until after the World Cup.

Speaking during the Bluebirds' promotion run-in, Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren backed Grujic to shine at Anfield next term following his successful loan spell in South Wales.

Writing in Liverpool's matchday programme ahead of the Reds' Premier League clash with Bournemouth in April, Lovren said: "I'm really glad for Marko that it is going well at Cardiff and hopefully they will be in the Premier League next season.

"He hadn't been playing here and is still young so I think it was the right decision for him to go to Cardiff to get some minutes on the pitch.

"I saw his goal against Barnsley and I'm really happy for him that he is doing well there.

"Going from the Serbian league to Premier League was a big step for him so I think the first year-and-a-half was about adaptation.

"Hopefully he will be fine for next season to play a big role here because I know the manager is thinking about him for the future.”
