Liverpool have held discussions with at least one top flight Mexican club over the possible sale of out of favour winger Lazar Markovic, according to Goal.
The outlet claims that the Serbian international, on a reported £35,000-per-week [Source: Spotrac], is still being lined up for a January exit if possible.
The Reds remain able to find interested parties, both in North America and potentially in China, too. Markovic last appeared in a Liverpool shirt at the end of the 2015 season.
However, with the 24-year-old’s contract up at the end of the campaign, he will simply leave the club in a few months time if no agreement is reached in January.
OPINION
Liverpool supporters will have gone into this January’s window knowing that there would be precious little activity on a buying front from their club this month. This, then, is the sort of news that they will have wanted to see. Markovic has been a drain on the club’s resources for too long now. He hasn’t contributed to the first team for years, and didn’t do a whole lot even then. Jurgen Klopp quite clearly doesn’t fancy him, but not enough other teams do either – that’s the problem. For whatever reason the Reds have never been able to get a deal over the line for him to leave Anfield permanently. Instead, it’s been a series of dispiriting loan spells. Now, hopefully, something can be done to get rid of him on a permanent basis. If a Mexican club wants him then they can have him, whatever the price. Anything the club can get for him is a good thing at this point.
