iverpool forward Milan Jovanovic appears to be edging closer to an Anfield exit after Anderlecht opened transfer talks with the Serbian.[LNB] The 30-year-old joined the Reds on a free transfer last summer from Standard Liege but struggled to hold down a regular place.[LNB]He made just one start after Kenny Dalglish took over for the second half of the season and did not make the squad for the final four months of the campaign.[LNB]The Serbia international's wife has already expressed her preference to return to Belgium and it appears Anderlecht have made their move.[LNB]"We're currently negotiating with Jovanovic but we couldn't achieve an agreement (yet)," a spokesman for the Belgian side told BBC Sport.[LNB]"We're very much interested and the player would like to come.[LNB]"Anderlecht are due to contact Liverpool today."[LNB]Jovanovic is one of a number of players surplus to requirements at Anfield and has been told he can leave.[LNB]The stumbling block so far has been finding a club willing to come close to matching the player's current wages, which are believed to be around £60,000 a week.
