Jurgen Klopp has told Lazar Markovic that he will be given the opportunity to revive his Liverpool career this summer.

The Serbian winger, who is on a season-long loan at Fenerbahce, held talks with the Reds boss on Friday after returning to Melwood.

Markovic is currently sidelined by injury but will soon head back to Turkey to see out the campaign with the title-chasers.

The 22-year-old endured a difficult first year at Anfield following his £20million arrival from Benfica and has been linked with a permanent move to Fenerbahce.

However, Klopp wants Markovic to report for pre-season training in July and force his way into his plans for next season.

“Lazar has a muscle problem so he is back for us at the moment,” Klopp said.

“You will have to ask the doctor for the exact diagnosis but he’s not available. He’s not our player for this season so he will have to go back.

“We had a little talk about things. I said at the start of pre-season you will be very welcome and then it’s up to you.

“That is how it is in football. It’s a long pre-season and if he wants to come back to Liverpool in July he’s welcome.

“We are short on wingers. Everybody who is involved in pre-season can have a part to play next season. We need a big squad because of the European Championships.

“Pre-season is a long time to show what you have and then after this we’ll make decisions.”
