Marko Grujic revealed he has held talks with Liverpool over a possible transfer
The Red Star Belgrade star, who was reportedly the subject of a £3million bid from Chelsea, has been likened to current Blues ace Nemanja Matic.
Inter Milan and Roma are also keen on the Serbian, who is valued at £5m and could become Jurgen Klopp's first signing.
"I'll try to respect the club, the fans and the general public, but I think that for myself I have to choose the best environment, where I will get the chance to play and where I work with good coaches in good conditions."
The 19-year-old was recommended to Klopp by his Bosnian No 2 Zeljko Buvac and is under contract at Red Star until June 2018.
Grujic has scored five goals this season and helped Serbia win the Under-20 World Cup in New Zealand in June.
