On August 30th, we relayed news from Greece that Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic is close to completing a move to PAOK on Friday’s deadline day.
The Serbian international spent the second half of the last season on loan at Anderlecht and the Reds will have one last opportunity to cash in from his sale as he has one year left on contract.
Het Nieuwsblad reports the Jupiler Pro League club’s sporting director, Luc Devroe, spoke about the opportunity to possibly sign the former Benfica man.
Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s side are negotiating to find an agreement with the 24-year-old. He found the possibility of joining Anderlecht on a permanent deal at the beginning of the transfer window, but it was not a priority for him to join them.
PAOK, Olympiakos and Standard Liege have followed Markovic, but the report claims a return to the Belgian side looks like the ‘best solution’ for the attacker.
