# Liverpool expected to announce first Klopp signing today

![klopp0022](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/klopp0022-500x325.jpg)Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern are passing the time by playing pool, as they prepare themselves for the imminent arrival of Jurgen Klopp’s first signing on Merseyside.

[*Sky Sports* report that the Reds are set to announce the capture of Marko Grujic in a £5.1m arrival from Red Star Belgrade, with a medical taking place today.](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/10118454/liverpool-set-to-announce-marko-grujic-as-jurgen-klopps-first-signing)

The 19-year-old Serbian midfielder will be loaned back to Red Star for the remainder of the season and [confirmed his transfer to Liverpool on his Facebook account.](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/10118454/liverpool-set-to-announce-marko-grujic-as-jurgen-klopps-first-signing)

> “On 4th January I will become a Liverpool player.”

Grujic will return to Red Star to complete the Serbian season, where his club are currently leading the title chase with an astonishing 25-point lead and they stand unbeaten for the past 22 domestic matches.

Their aim is to seal a spot in the Champions League but Grujic will be unavailable for that campaign next term, as he’ll move to Liverpool in the summer.
