Liverpool midfielder Lazar Markovic is in talks with Fenerbahce.

The Mirror says Markovic is close to agreeing a season-long loan move from Liverpool to Turkish side Fenerbahce.

But boss Brendan Rodgers is adamant the Serbia winger DOES still has a future at Anfield.

Rodgers believes he can still come good and feels he will benefit from going out on loan to play regular first-team football like Jordon Ibe did last season at Derby.

Istanbul-based Fenerbahce - who, like Liverpool, will be in Friday's draw for the Europa League's group phase - will pick up Markovic's £50,000-a-week wages and pay the Reds a loan fee.
