6 players Liverpool should have never signed

#6 Lazar Markovic

Markovic is yet to prove himself

Lazar Markovic is still a Liverpool player but is currently on loan at Sporting CP. He was signed for £20m from Benfica two years ago and hasn’t made the grade at Anfield.

The Serbian does have a bit of a violent streak and earned himself a four-game European ban for flicking his hand in an opponent’s face during a Champions League match against Basel. Liverpool drew 1-1 in that game, which was their final group stage match, and would drop into the Europa League as a result.

He never seemed to fit in at Liverpool and was said to be at loggerheads with Brendan Rodgers over playing positions.

Markovic spent the following season on loan at Fenerbahce, scoring two goals in 21 appearances as a series of hamstring injuries hampered his campaign. Klopp wasn’t ready to give him another chance at Liverpool this season and decided to send him to Portugal on another loan deal.
