Arsenal, Tottenham and Lazio are all reportedly eyeing up a summer move for Dejan Lovren, according to La Lazio Siamo Noi.
The 30-year-old has been tipped to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, following six years at Anfield.
Lovren is unlikely to be without suitors if he does move on and three big clubs have emerged as candidates to sign him.
Arsenal and Spurs see him as someone who could boost their defensive options, as do Lazio, which could see him team up with former Liverpool colleague Lucas Leiva.
There is not believed to be anything “concrete” at this stage of developments, however, and his £18.25 million price tag could prove to be a stumbling block.

Moving Lovren on this summer could be a priority, with the centre-back both injury-prone and arguably not good enough moving forward.
There is no denying that he has good days at the office, but a bad game, like his performance at Watford, is never too far away and his inability to stay fit is hugely frustrating.
It feels as though Liverpool have moved up another level while Lovren has stood still, much like Adam Lallana, who is also expected to leave.
Moving to Lazio and joining up with former Liverpool teammate Lucas Leiva could make perfect sense for all parties, allowing Lovren to play in a what is traditionally viewed as a slower league, with expectations arguably lower than at Anfield currently.
I’m not sure he could take Arsenal or Spurs up a significant level, however, so a move to either north London club may not be too successful in the long run, while Liverpool might also prefer to see him move abroad.
