Lazar Markovic’s Liverpool nightmare may soon be at an end amid interest from Sporting Lisbon.
Markovic spent last season on loan with Fenerbahce following a disastrous 12 months at Anfield in the wake of his £20 million move from Benfica.
Jurgen Klopp’s appointment as manager has also failed to offer any signs of promise that the Serbian winger will be able to revive his career with the Reds.
But reports in Portugal have offered the Markovic hopes for a potential redemption back in Lisbon.
Record claim that Sporting are weighing up a move for the 22-year-old, who is likely to be one of several players earmarked for departure as Klopp attempts to trim his squad.
Markovic worked with the club’s current coach Jorge Jesus during his time at Benfica.
