# Lovren gives Milan the go-ahead for summer switch

Dejan Lovren is ready to leave Liverpool and join AC Milan this summer, according to claims from [Sempre Milan](https://sempremilan.com/sm-lovren-gives-green-light-to-ac-milan-move-liverpool-want-e20m-fee).

The Croatian central defender fell out of favour towards the end of last season under Jurgen Klopp despite his injury woes.

Lovren found himself operating as a backup option to Joel Matip, who stepped into the void left by Joe Gomez’s long-term injury impressively and accompanied Virgil van Dijk in the heart of the back-line.

[Speculation](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2019/06/12/ac-milan-eye-up-summer-bid-for-dejan-lovren/) has gathered in recent times surrounding a possible switch to Italy for the Reds defender, who arrived in the summer of 2014 for a fee of £20 million from Southampton.

It had been initially [suggested](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2019/06/12/liverpool-demand-25m-for-dejan-lovren/) that Liverpool were holding out for a deal worth £25 million for Lovren if they are to offload him ahead of next season, but Sempre Milan’s report states that a €20 million offer would be accepted.

The centre-back failed to convince last term, making only 18 appearances in all competitions for the Reds.
