The red half of Merseyside has begun their 2018-19 in a stunning as they stretched their unbeaten start in the Premier League to 12 by a 2-0 victory over Fulham last time out. Currently, Liverpool sits second in the table behind Manchester City and are surely one of the contenders to dethrone the Manchester club as Premier League champions. Even after suffering a defeat against Red Star Belgrade last time out, Liverpool’s Champions League destiny still remains in their own hands.
Some of the Reds’ stars have been in flying colours in the new campaign while some are going through contrasting fortunes.
On this note, we take a look three Liverpool players who could make a move away from the Red Half of Merseyside Merseyside this January.
#3 Lazar Markovic
Signed from Benfica in 2014 for around £20 million, Lazar Markovic is already considered as Liverpool’s one of the biggest flops.
He has been a completely forgotten name in of Liverpool’s squad and he hasn’t made a place on the bench in the 2018-19 campaign. The Serbian has almost found himself sidelined during his time at Merseyside. The Serbian generally plies his trade as a right winger to right wing forward. That position is currently occupied by PFA Player of the year and Reds’ record-breaking goal scorer Mohamed Salah. Moreover, Reds’ have brought in Xherden Shaqiri in the preceding transfer window which has further declined opportunities for Markovic.
Lazar Markovic could be on his way to depart the Red Half of Merseyside and recently, according to the reports, Fiorentina has shown interest to acquire his services.
#2 Divock Origi
After an unfruitful loan campaign with Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to hand many opportunities to Belgian in Reds’ crucial 2018-19 campaign.
Though the 23-year-old striker did make to the bench a few times this term, he hasn’t made a single appearance yet. With Daniel Sturridge reemerging as a second choice striker after Roberto Firmino, and Dominik Solanke also ready to fight for the place, Divock Origi has become Reds’ fourth choice forward.
However, the Belgian is still 23 and has a lot of scope for further improvement. According to the recent reports, Premier League’s new boys Wolves have shown a keen interest to recruit Reds’ out of favour forward and he could be on his way to Molineux Stadium in January.
#1 Alberto Moreno
If Liverpool hadn’t signed Andrew Roberston from Hull City in 2017 summer transfer window, Alberto Moreno could have been a regular name in Reds’ lineup.
Actually, the Spaniard had a great start to the 2017-18 campaign only before an injury and Robertson displays cost him a place in the starting XI. Eventually, the Scotish International grabbed a permanent place in Reds’ XI.
Latest reports suggest Turkish side Fenerbahce has shown interest to sign out of favour Liverpool full-back Alberto Moreno and he might push for a move away from Merseyside. However, there still chances of Jurgen Klopp keeping the Spaniard and could use him in Cup fixtures as a back up for Andrew Robertson.
