Who is Liverpool benchwarmer who earns £332,000 per game

Liverpool have a number of players who play on loan and rarely make competitive appearances for the Reds. One of them is Lazar Markovic, who could even be forgotten by Liverpool supporters as he has been playing on loan since his move from Benfica in 2014. It means that he was brought in during the Brendan Rodgers era and is still considered as a Liverpool player who is currently on a reported £50,000 per week deal at the club. According to the estimations of the Liverpool Echo, the Merseyside club have paid the former Benfica man £9.25million since his last appearance in the loss to Aston Villa at Wembley in April 2015. His total wage bill since his arrival from Portugal will adds up to a staggering £11m. Having only appeared 34 times for the club, his wages work out at a quite incredible £332,000 per game. Markovic was pictured in Brussels last summer as a deal to sort a permanent stay at Anderlecht but the deal fell through in the last minute, The club’s manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck said: "Our president and sports director did everything to convince Markovic." “They waited until Liverpool lowered the price. They almost did a crazy effort for the player, but it wasn’t enough. It’s his own fault that the deal fell through.”
