Official: Markovic back in Europe, ex-Sporting joins top club | OneFootball

Lazar Markovic played for Sporting in the first half of the 2016/17 season, on loan from Liverpool, participating in 14 games with two goals scored

It's official. Apollon Limassol, from Cyprus, announced on Wednesday, August 20, that they have reached an agreement for the signing of Lazar Markovic. The Serbian who represented Sporting in 2016/17 signs until the end of the current season with an option for another year.

"Apollon Football (Public) Ltd announces the agreement with the Serbian international footballer Lazar Markovic until May 2026, with the right to extend for another season", wrote the club that won the Cypriot championship four times on social network 'X' (former Twitter), this Wednesday, August 20.

The 31-year-old player thus arrives at the new emblem from Baniyas, from the United Arab Emirates, a club with which he ended his relationship in June. In the last 2024/25 sports season, the 31-year-old player made 31 games and scored seven goals and six assists.

The athlete played at Alvalade in the first half of the 2016/17 season, on loan from Liverpool, participating in 14 games with two goals scored. Sporting paid around 1.5 million euros to the Reds for the loan, but during the few months he was in Alvalade, Lazar Marković failed to shine, where he arrived at the request of Jorge Jesus - who saw Francisco Trincão refuse to go to Al Nassr.

In January 2017, the Alvalade Club terminated the loan contract earlier than expected and the player went to Hull City, England, at the time trained by Marco Silva. Apollon is the 12th club of the athlete, after Partizan, Benfica, Liverpool, Fenerbahçe, Sporting, Hull City, Anderlecht, Fulham, Gaziantep, Trabzonspor and Baniyas.
