The winger ends his four and a half year stay at Anfield and joins the Cottagers fight to avoid relegation
Fulham has announced the signing of Lazar Markovic on a free Liverpool transfer until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old joined the Reds for 20 million pounds ($ 26 million) in 2014 from Benfica but barely played under Jurgen Klopp.
Markovic has not played for Liverpool since May 2015 and has been on loan to Fenerbache, Sporting, Hull City and Anderlecht since his last appearance.

The Reds have been eager to release Markovic from his books for some time because of his salary of £ 50,000 a week. He finally separated from the club four and a half years after his signature.
In a statement from the club of cottage owners, it says: "Aleksandar Mitrović made very good recommendations regarding the player.
"Markovic achieved his breakthrough at Partizan Belgrade where he was one of Mitrović's teammates and was named to the SuperLiga team of the season during each of his two complete campaigns and having won the title in the first team. "
Club co-owner Tony Khan added, "Lazar Markovic is a talented young player. We are happy to welcome him from Liverpool for the rest of the season. Lazar is known for being an excellent teammate, he has the support of our director and he has the talent to strengthen our attack. Go Fulham!
Liverpool had signed a contract with Anderlecht for £ 2.9m ($ 3.8m) this summer, which would have allowed Markovic to return to Belgium permanently, but the transition failed at the last minute.

The Serbian international Markovic's contract at Anfield was due to expire at the end of this season, but he now hopes to help Fulham stay in the Premier League, with Claudio Ranieri's team currently in a worrying situation.
The West London club is second from the bottom and five points away from safety, although it has received a boost by bowing 2-0 to enforce 4-2 against Brighton at Craven Cottage on Tuesday.
They also finalized the Hoffenheim loan agreement with Havard Nordtveit until the end of the 2018-2019 campaign, although they missed Youssouf Sabaly of Bordeaux despite the fact that they offered 12 million pounds (16 million of books) on the right back.
