“What a waste of space”, “Make him pull the weeds off the Anfield pitch” – Some Liverpool fans up in arms after failed transfer for out-of-favour superstar

Liverpool’s hopes of selling Lazar Markovic in this transfer window were dashed as the Serbian could not agree to personal terms with Anderlecht, according to James Pearce.

Markovic was set to join the Belgian side for a fee of £2.9m and the player had even travelled to the country, as per Pearce.

The 24-year-old failed to show his ability during his spell at Anfield and a report from Liverpool Echo claims that the Serb could leave on a free at the end of the season.

Markovic served loan stints at Anderlecht, Hull City and even Sporting Lisbon during his time at Liverpool but he rarely made a significant impact for the sides.

There was interest in the Serbian from PAOK Greece but Anderlecht were close to signing him and the Reds even negotiated a 50% selling fee, as per the report.

A number of Liverpool fans were upset over the latest developments and shared their opinions on Twitter
