The former forward of Benfica and Sporting has been deemed, by Michael Edwards, the biggest flop of his era at Liverpool. Markovic was signed by Liverpool from Benfica in 2015 for 25 million euros. However, the winger never shone in the Reds' jersey and ended up being loaned out in the following years to Fenerbahçe, Sporting, Hull City, Anderlecht, and left for free to Fulham in 2019. During his time at Liverpool, the Serbian scored 3 goals and provided 1 assist in 34 matches. It was the former research director of Liverpool, Ian Graham, who revealed in his book "How to Win the Premier League: The Inside Story of the Data Revolution in Football" that signing Markovic was Michael Edwards' biggest regret, who was then the sporting director of Liverpool. Eddy (Michael Edwards) cites the signing of Markovic as his biggest regret, but at least we learned from the experience. That was the failure that led to adding an extra layer of detailed video analysis for every transfer target at Liverpool. Graham also wrote that in the 2013/14 season, Markovic was the most sought-after young player by European giants, and after his signing, Liverpool's scout reportedly heard congratulations from clubs that failed to sign him. At 32 years old, the Serbian player is currently with Apollon Limassol in Cyprus, where, once again, he has not had an easy time. He has yet to establish himself as a starter and has only scored 1 goal in 10 matches.
