Lazar Markovic has enjoyed a fantastic season with Benfica as he helped his side clinch the Portuguese title.
Even though the Serbian has had just one year in Portugal since his move from Partizan Belgrade, it has been enough to convince Liverpool boss Brenden Rodgers to sign him up.
A deal is expected to be completed within the week with Rodgers reportedly spending around £25m to bring him to Anfield.
it is reported that Markovic will have a medical tomorrow ahead of the big money move and Chelsea midfielder and former team-mate Nemanja Matic had praising words about the 20 year-old.
Matic told TalkSPORT: “He has such massive potential that if he changed his attitude in training he could be one of Europe’s best players in his position. But he’s young, he’ll mature, and then nobody will be able to stop him”
Liverpool hope to sign the youngster as they push for another title push with a stronger squad next season.
