# 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](https://sportwitness.co.uk/everyone-agrees-club-liverpool-player-reds-hoping-make-e10-12m-sale/), 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.
