Lazar Markovic in talks with Fiorentina

According to GOAL, Lazar Markovic is in talks with Italian side Fiorentina as he and Liverpool look to part ways this summer.

Liverpool want £16m for the Serbian who has been linked with Leicester, Watford and Hull, who he was on loan with last season under Marco Silva, who is now Watford manager.

Markovic did not get a place in The Reds’ 30-man preseason squad in Germany as he is in talks with Fiorentina over a possible transfer as Jurgen Klopp does not see him in his plans for much longer.

The 23-year-old flew out to Italy to judge whether he thinks Fiorentina is the right fit for his future as he looks to get his promising career back on track and show the form he had at Benfica, before joining Liverpool in 2014.

Viola are interested in signing the winger after scouting him in both transfer windows last season so the transfer is looking more and more likely.

The Serbian has had loan spells at Fenerbache, Sporting Lisbon and Hull City suggesting that a move away from Anfield was always on the cards and it looks like he is finally on his way out.
