Liverpool are in talks with Red Star Belgrade on Marko Grujic on a £5 million transfer.
Grujic, a member of the Serbia squad that won this summer's Under-20 World Cup, said he has spoken to Liverpool but he plans to remain in Belgrade until next summer to help the club qualify for the Champions League.
"I will do my best to show respect to the club [Red Star], the public and the supporters, but then I think I need to choose the best environment for myself in which I'll get my chance and work with good coaches in good conditions," he told Blic.
"Maybe something will happen, but there's no rush. I am certainly staying there [Red Star] until the end of the qualifiers for the Champions League. That works for Liverpool too. We had talks and I haven't made any deal yet. I am still a Red Star player."
