This comes after widespread reports that Cardiff were closing in on the signing of Grujic, 21, on a deal that runs until the end of the season.
The four-times Serbia international has made just six senior Liverpool appearances this season and only 14 in total since completing a £5.1million transfer from Red Star Belgrade in 2016.
There has been interest in loaning Grujic this month from Premier League duo West Ham and Huddersfield, as well as Cardiff, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough from the top end of the Championship and Turkish giants Galtasaray.
OPINION
This is quite a coup for Vincent Tan and the Cardiff hierarchy. There has been a glut of clubs keen to loan 6ft 3in Grujic, who has a lot to offer with his height, strength, aggression, dominance in the midfield engine room, fine range of passing and ability to pilfer goals. Warnock has said he wantsto sign battle-hardened players this month with experience of winning promotion to the Premier League. Grujic does not have that on his CV, but in many ways he is a prototype Warnock player and he should not be fazed by the manager’s physical style of play.
