Liverpool demand £16m for international star, Italian giants enter talks but could face competition from Turkey
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made it pretty clear that Lazar Markovic does not have a future at the club.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo last week, Klopp confirmed Markovic’s availability this summer.
“With Lazar, it’s no secret that if he finds a club then we will negotiate. It was like this last year too,” he said.
“He’s a really good player. I like him as a person. He’s now fit and another one who is in the best shape since I’ve known him.
“Before he had problems with his groin but now he’s good. There will be a club out there who needs him.”
