Liverpool’s ‘worst ever signing’ finds new club as he joins ex-Barcelona and Napoli stars in Turkey

LAZAR MARKOVIC, who’s dubbed Liverpool’s WORST ever signing, has found a new club in Turkey – joining ex-Barcelona and Napoli stars at Trabzonspor.

The 28-year-old made a £22million switch to the Reds from Benfica in 2014.

However, the Serbia international only went on to make 34 appearances for the Anfield club, scoring three and assisting on.

His failure to stamp down a place in the first-team saw the winger go out on loan four times, playing for Fenerbahce, Sporting Lisbon, Hull City and Anderlecht.

Markovic then joined Fulham on a free transfer in January 2019, but only lasted six months at the club before being let go to head back to boyhood club Partizan.

The 22-cap player then spent just under three years at Partizan before making a switch to Turkish side Gaziantep last summer.

Markovic has been dubbed Liverpool’s WORST ever signing by some, but after an uptake in form in the Turkish league, he has earned a move to Trabzonspor, where he will play alongside former Barca and Napoli stars, according to journalist Yagız Sabuncuoglu.

He will play alongside Napoli legend Marek Hamsik.

The 35-year-old joined the Turkish team in 2021.

Hamsik has played 22 times for Trabzonspor this season, scoring two and assisting one.

Former Barca defender Marc Bartra is also playing his trade at Trabzonspor.

The 32-year-old made the move from Real Betis last summer for a minimal fee.
