LIVERPOOL outcast Marko Grujic is a transfer target for Lazio, according to reports in Italy.
The 22-year-old was snapped up from Red Star Belgrade in January 2016 but has played just 51 minutes of Premier League football for the Reds.

The Serbia international spent last season on loan at Cardiff, winning promotion to the top-flight, with 13 Championship appearances and one goal.
The midfielder is under contract at Anfield until 2020 but Il Tempo claim he could be whisked away for as little as £4.5million.
Last summer Lazio bolstered their midfield with a move for Brazilian general Lucas Leiva from the Kop.
And that relationship between the two clubs could be revisited in the coming weeks.
Jurgen Klopp has spoken about Grujic, especially when his agent has pushed for clarity on his future, and he seems to believe his future is on Merseyside.

In December, the German said: “I like the boy a lot. He has made progress like hell.
“His heading is outstanding but he doesn’t make the squad a lot which isn’t the best thing for him for sure.
“We will think about it. We always want to help the players. First of all as a club we have to think about ourselves.
“I really see Marko in the future playing for Liverpool. But he’s not playing in the moment so we have to see what we can do to make it more likely that he comes through in the near future.”
