TRANSFERS Your second favorite transfer listens to the name Lazar Markovic. He played only eight games for Anderlecht last season, but he could clearly charm you.


Name: Lazar Markovic
Current club:Liverpool
Position: Winger
Age: 24
Nationality: Serbian
Market value *: € 8,000,000

History: Markovic broke through at Partizan Belgrade and in the summer of 2013 he got a transfer to Benfica, which put ten million euros on the table for him. One year, six goals and five assists later they sold him to Liverpool for 25 million euros.

But at Anfield he could never persevere. Loans to Fenerbahce, Sporting Lisbon and Hull City did not bring any relief.

On January 31 this year he ended up completely surprisingly at the Astridpark, after Anderlecht failed to get Aleksandar Mitrovic from Newcastle.

After running in Neerpede for weeks to get rid of his physical backlog, the Serbian came into action eight times for Anderlecht. He still proved to be able to play very well.

Profile: Markovic is extremely fast with an excellent technique. His endurance and injury sensitivity are serious downsides.

Feasibility: Liverpool would still want to catch between 5.5 and 8 million euros for Markovic. An amount that Anderlecht will never put on the table since Markovic can not digest more than one game per week. His wage is also a stumbling block.

Nevertheless, Anderlecht keep a close eye on his file. If Markovic is still not sold in the last week of August, both Liverpool and Markovic will have to put water in the wine anyway.

His transfer price will decrease anyway,as well as the percentage of his wage that purple-white has to pay for a new loan. For Markovic, Anderlecht use a nothing has, everything is possible principle.

Priority? Since Anderlecht also asked if it could take in Charly Musonda Junior - purple-white still looks for offensive reinforcements. What could indicate that it does not count immediately on Kristal Abazaj and Luka Adzic.

 Anderlecht are certainly not going to do crazy things to get Markovic in, but wait for an offensive opportunity. And yes, it might be Lazar Markovic at the end of August.
