Report: Liverpool trying to offload winger Lazar Markovic

Liverpool are reportedly trying to sell flop winger Lazar Markovic before the end of the January transfer window.

The Serbia international earns around £50,000 a week and is due to be out of contract at the end of the campaign.

Markovic has never been part of Jurgen Klopp's plans, but the club have failed to find a suitable bidder over the past three-and-a-half years.

According to the Liverpool Echo, though, Liverpool are listening to offers for the 24-year-old in the hope that a team steps forward in the next two weeks.

Clubs in the Chinese Super League are believed to hold an interest in Markovic, who has spent the season training with the Reds' Under-23s side after a move to Anderlecht collapsed last summer.

Serie A sides Genoa and Fiorentina have also been linked with the midfielder over the past couple of months.
