Liverpool £20m flop signs for ninth club since Anfield nightmare began





Lazar Markovic has found himself a new club. One decade on from the start of his Anfield nightmare, the 30-year-old will play his trade in the United Arab Emirates.


July 17, marked the exact 10-year anniversary of Markovic's Anfield signing


He cost the Reds £20m from Benfica - a sizeable chunk of the budget available to Brendan Rodgers




It is fair to say the winger's time at Anfield did not go to plan. The Serbian made 34 appearances for the club, scoring only three goals


Markovic failed to ever make the field of play once Jurgen Klopp took over in 2015.


Four subsequent loan transfers failed to yield a permanent exit from the club, until the January 2019 window finally produced a free move to Fulham


The Cottagers are just one of eight teams he has turned out for either there permanently or on loan since his big Liverpool move


now FC Baniyas, based in Abu Dhabi, will become his ninth.


The winger, now 30, was announced as the club's latest signing. He moves to the Gulf state on another free transfer having departed Gaziantep FK of Turkey at the end of his contract last month.
