Liverpool could get transfer boost after Porto ‘decide’ on sale

Marko Grujic’s sell-on clause means Liverpool would receive a small prize from any potential sale this summer

Liverpool could be in for a financial windfall before the transfer window closes should Marko Grujic move on from FC Porto.
Jurgen Klopp’s first piece of business after signing on to become the club’s manager in 2015 didn’t go exactly to plan. Grujic made only 16 appearances for the Reds in all competitions, scoring once and assisting once following his £5.9m switch from Red Star Belgrade.
However in the end the typical smart financial deals that Anfield chiefs were so synonymous with during that era of the club’s history saw Liverpool come out on top. Grujic amassed a total of £4.2m in loan fees throughout his five years on Merseyside before eventually departing for £10.5m last year, resulting in an £8.8m profit.
His eventual exit was to Porto, where the Serbian had spent one prior season on loan. His time there has been much more fruitful with 116 appearances at club level, however according to Portuguese outlet A Bola this could soon be coming to an end.
On Sunday they reported that the 30-time Liga Portugal champions are keen to facilitate more exits before the summer window closes. Fabrizio Romano had previously claimed one of those names would be Otavio – a winger formerly linked with a move to Anfield – whilst Bola now claim Grujic could be in line for the chop.
They state that the former Reds No.16 has been displaced by recent signings Joao Moutinho and Alan Varela, is attracting interest from ‘Italian clubs’ with AC Milan specifically mentioned and is valued in the region of €20-25m (£17.1-21.3m).
And should a deal be struck in the remaining days of the current window, Klopp would be provided with a small boost of funds from a 10 percent sell-on clause placed in Grujic’s contract upon his departure from Liverpool.
This usually means the stated percentage on top of the fee originally received for the player, therefore based on the reported value of Grujic the Reds would be in line for a bonus.
So working with that range, a figure between £660,000 and £1.08m would arrive in FSG’s pocket from Porto.
