Wolfsburg are trying to persuade Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic to reignite his career with the Bundesliga club, according to Sky sources.

Liverpool are understood to be happy for Markovic, who has not played a competitive game for Liverpool since May 2015, to join Wolfsburg on a permanent deal before the transfer window closes on Wednesday.

Swansea had enquired about a move, either on loan or permanent, for the 23-year-old Serb but are understood to be losing confidence over securing a deal with Wolfsburg left as the main option open for him to secure football away from Anfield.
