La Lazio Siamo Noi, who of course specialise in Lazio, have a report today on the Serie A club’s interest in Dejan Lovren.
Tottenham, Arsenal, AC Milan and Lyon, the French side being the defender’s former club, have also been credited with interest.
Liverpool are presented as wanting €20m, and aren’t ready to give discounts to anyone. They may not have to either, if the claims of interest from several clubs are correct.
Jose Mourinho has a record of signing players moving into the Autumn of their careers, and that’s perhaps a reason to give their interest more seriousness.
Jan Vertonghen’s contract expires in the summer and he’s continually been linked with a move to Serie A. Should the Belgian go then it’s quite possible Mourinho will look to replace him with experience from the Premier League.
Clubs may face an issue with the length of contract Lovren is likely to want. He turns 31 years of age in July and will likely be looking for a three year deal.
