€18m Liverpool midfielder in talks with Fiorentina

€18m Liverpool midfielder in talks with Fiorentina

Lazar Markovic is being targeted by Fiorentina, according to the latest reports from the Mirror.

The British paper exclusively reports that the Serbian midfielder - who has been a flop at Anfield - has met with the Viola in order to discuss a move.

Having struggled to impose himself in Liverpool, the former Benfica man has been loaned out on numerous occasions, including a recent move to Hull City.

Acquired for 25 million during the summer of 2014, the midfielder was able to score twice for Hull City in 12 Premier League games, but is not considered to be part of Jurgen Klopp’s future plans.

Slaven Bilic was linked to the Serbian towards the end of last season after he played a good game against West Ham, but we’ve heard nothing more of this interest since.

Liverpool are reported to want £16 million (€18m) for the 23-year-old, and have left Markovic from their pre-season summer tour, likely in the expectation that Markovic will leave.
