Marko Grujic (born 13 April 1996) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Portuguese Primeira Liga club Porto and the Serbia national team.
A native of Belgrade, Grujic started his career with his hometown club Red Star Belgrade, progressing through their youth system to the first team squad. He made his professional debut in 2013, and won the SuperLiga title in his final season with Red Star before completing a £5.1 million move to Liverpool. After five years with the Premier League club, he moved to Portuguese club Porto for just over £10 million in 2021.
Grujic is a Serbian international, and represented Serbia at every youth level from under-16 upwards before making his full international debut in May 2016. He was part of the Serbian side which won the 2015 U-20 World Cup.
Standing at 6-foot-3-inches (1.91 m), Grujic has been described as "tall, rangy, comfortable on the ball and with a good range of passing" and dubbed the "new Matic" because of his likeness in both appearance and position to fellow Serbian defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic. |
