Jovanovic holds talks with Anderlecht

Milan Jovanovic is holding talks with Anderlecht with a view to completing a free transfer from Liverpool.

The Serbian forward has been told he's surplus to requirements at Anfield and the Belgian side are keen to snap him up.

However, the move hinges on Jovanovic being able to agree personal terms and that could yet be a stumbling block.

"We're currently negotiating with Jovanovic, but we couldn't achieve an agreement (yet)," an Anderlecht spokesman confirmed.

"We're very much interested and the player would like to come."

The 30-year-old Serbia international joined Liverpool on a free transfer from Standard Liege last summer and penned a lucrative three-year deal.

However, he struggled to make an impression and made just 13 starts for the Reds.

Jovanovic looked out of his depth in the Premier League and played just twice under manager Kenny Dalglish.

Liverpool are keen to get him off their wage bill and Jovanovic recently admitted he had been told he could leave.

"I got the paper from Liverpool that I am free to search for a new club," he said.

There has also been interest from Olympiakos and Club Brugge but Anderlecht are now in the box seat to end his miserable stay at Liverpool.
