Lazio keen on Dejan Lovren

Lazio are thought to be keen on a summer move for Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren.

According to Italian outlet Il Messaggero, relayed in an article by Sport Witness, Lazio officials have agreed that Lovren fits the style of defender they are looking to bring in and, as a result, will look to sign the player this summer.

The report suggests that the 29-year-old, who made the move to Merseyside from Southampton in 2014, is valued at £10m by the Reds.

The Croatia international made just 18 appearances under Jurgen Klopp this season and is expected to be just one of a number of departures from Anfield this summer.

With Virgil van Dijk’s consistent displays, Joel Matip’s productive six-month spell and Joe Gomez back to full fitness, Lovren is expected to be surplus to requirements.

Lovren joined the club for £22.8m five years ago and it looks like the defender will be allowed to leave for just under half the price the Reds paid ahead of the new season.
