Lazar Markovic has struggled to impress on loan with Sporting Lisbon
Lazar Markovic joined Sporting Lisbon on a season-long loan last summer as he was not part of Jurgen Klopp's plans at Liverpool.
The Serbia international impressed in pre-season training but failed to hold down a first-team place and was shipped out to Sporting.
However, Markovic has struggled since moving to Portugal and could now have his loan spell cut short by the club.

Lazar Markovic Player Profile
The Sun claim Sporting have not been impressed by the winger's performances and they are keen to get him off their books.
Markovic's return has been complicated by an agreement in his contract which states the Portuguese side must make two payments across the course of the loan.
Sporting are required to make two payments totalling £1million over the season, and they are said to be considering paying early to get rid of the 22-year-old.
Markovic has made 14 appearances this season in all competitions - primarily as a substitute - and has scored two goals.
The Serbian has failed to kick-on since Liverpool splashed £20m to sign him in 2014 from Benfica.
His current deal at Anfield runs until June 2017.
