Liverpool prepared to sell Turkish giants transfer target for £12m, Watford also in race

Liverpool are prepared to take their losses on Lazar Markovic and sell him for £12 million according to the Mirror.

The Reds are reported to be willing to sell Markovic for £8 million less than they paid for him in 2014.

The Premier League giants signed Markovic from Benfica for £20 million.

Per the source, Galatasaray, Watford and Zenit Saint Petersburg have all expressed an interest in the Serbian international.

The 23-year-old has made just 11 starts, scoring two Premier League goals since making his debut three years ago.

Watford boss Marco Silva signed Markovic to Hull on a loan move last season and is keen on repeating a similar transfer for his new club.

The winger also has experience playing Super Lig football having enjoyed a one-year loan stint at Fenerbahce.

Galatasaray are keen on signing a winger following the departure of Bruma to Red Bull Leipzig.

Markovic netted twice and set up three goals in a season riddled by injuries on his last stint in Turkey.

Were Markovic to join the Lions it could prove to be a controversial move considering the rivalry between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.
