£20m Liverpool star Lazar Markovic in talks with Euro giants over summer move

Out-of-favour Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic has been linked with a return to the Turkish Super League.

According to the Turkish outlet Fanatik, Besiktas have turned their attention towards the flamboyant winger. The Black Eagles are in the market for a new winger following the injury to Gokhan Tore during pre-season training.

Per the source, Besiktas have held early talks with Markovic’s agent and are interested in signing him on a one-year loan deal with an option to buy included.

Markovic is no stranger to the Turkish Super League. The former Benfica man spent a season on loan at Besiktas’ rivals Fenerbahce.

The Serbia international spent last season out on loan at Hull City. Markovic scored two goals in 12 Premier League appearances.

Besiktas will compete in the UEFA Champions League this season after winning the Turkish Super League last term.
