I don't know what the quality of the Serbian superleague is like, but he certainly appears to have had a good season.
Wiki says thusly:
Liverpool[edit]
Throughout autumn, Grujić was scouted by a number of high-profile European teams, including
Liverpool,
Internazionale,
Juventus,
Chelsea, and
Milan. Liverpool manager
Jürgen Klopp called Grujić personally to convince him to switch to
Anfield, but initially Grujić's father was against his son moving to Liverpool.
[5] Jurgen Klopp's assistant,
Željko Buvač, flew to Belgrade to speak with Grujić and on 6 January 2016, it was confirmed that Grujić completed his move to
Premier Leagueside
Liverpool, signing a five-year deal for a reported fee of £5.1 million.
[6][7] Upon joining, Grujić hailed Klopp for convincing him to join and told the press, "I would choose Liverpool over
Real Madrid and
Barcelona."
[8] He was immediately loaned back to Red Star until the end of the season for a fee of £740,000, and won the
SuperLiga with Red Star while on loan. Grujić finished the season with 29 appearances, 6 goals, 7 assists and was voted into the SuperLiga Team of the Year for his contribution to Red Star's unbeaten season.
[9]
International career[edit]
Grujić has represented Serbia at all youth levels from under-16 to under-21, and was a member of the Serbia squad which won the
2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in
New Zealand.
[10] In May 2016, Grujić made his full international debut for the
Serbia national team against
Cyprus after coming on in the place of
Nemanja Matićin a 2:1 win.
[11]
Style of play[edit]
Standing at 6-foot-3-inches (1.90m), Grujić has been described as "tall, rangy, comfortable on the ball and with a good range of passing" and dubbed the 'new Matić' because of his likeness in both appearance and position to fellow Serbian defensive midfielder
Nemanja Matić.
[10] He has also been compared to
Premier League legends
Yaya Touré and
Patrick Vieira, with his large stature and athleticism making him "quick to reach both penalty areas without ever seeming to be reaching top speed".
