According to Goal, Liverpool are preparing to sell defender Dejan Lovren amid interest from Zenit St Petersburg and two Premier League sides.
It’s claimed that Zenit want to bring Lovren to Russia, though the two teams seem a little far apart in how they value him right now.
Zenit allegedly want Lovren for free as he has just a year left on his deal, but Liverpool are adamant that he won’t be leaving for nothing.
Liverpool still want a fee for the Croatian, and may be confident of that with Roma and two Premier League clubs interested.
The English sides have allegedly asked about Lovren inside the last six months, though no names are given on who wants to sign him.
Lovren is currently Liverpool’s fourth-choice centre back behind Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, and is unlikely to want that situation to continue.
Lovren is now 31, and will want to play games. That isn’t going to come at Liverpool, and it’s no surprise that the Reds are prepared to let him go.
Six years since Brendan Rodgers lured him to Anfield, Lovren looks set to leave – though whether he will head to Russia or stay in England remains to be seen.
