Markovic, 23, signed for Liverpool in a £20million deal from Benfica in 2014, but he has failed to live up to his price tag.

The Serbia international has been loaned out three times during his time at Anfield, with spells at Fenerbahce, Sporting Lisbon and Hull.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp signed Mohamed Salah from Roma in a club-record £39m deal and also brought in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal for £35m this summer.

Markovic is already out of favour at Liverpool and has dropped even further down the pecking order, making game time more difficult to come by.
