“I can say that apart from Ronaldo and Messi, Markovic is one of the best talents I’ve ever seen at 19 years of age.”
When Lazar Markovic left Partizan Belgrade for Benfica back in 2013, he departed with the highest of praises from his former manager, Avram Grant.
“It was excellent playing with this kid for six months,” the Israeli said. “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.”
