Lazar Markovic’s transfer to Sporting is getting more complicated, and as the Portuguese press asks for “patience”, we know that means a saga is ahead of us.
Now Bundesliga club Wolfsburg have joined Fenerbahce and Sporting in the race, according to Portuguese newspaper Record.
All the clubs are said to be interested, but Liverpool’s reaction to a transfer is still unknown. The Reds have reportedly rejected a €25m offer from the Turkish side already.
Speaking to the newspaper, Markovic said: “I don’t want to make any comment about it. I won’t speculate.”
He won’t, but Record will. They’ve claimed that the Serbian has followed the Sporting duo William Carvalho and Adrien on Instagram, and then ask if it would be a sign that he’s joining the club.
Of course, Record. Of course.
Maybe he just likes them, or maybe he’s doing a Michy Batshuayi who completely gave the game away by following Chelsea on Twitter.
They’re very excited about a Markovic return in Portugal, so the whole rumour is causing quite a fuss.
