AS Roma in talks to sign Dejan Lovren from Liverpool
AS Roma have entered into talks with Liverpool to sign Croatian international Dejan Lovren. Having fallen down the pecking order at Liverpool and languishing as the 4th choice centre-back after Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez, Lovren has Liverpool's permission to seek a move away from the club in search of more minutes on the field.
The report claims that personal terms are not expected to become a problem as the Serie A club try to agree over a fee with the Merseysiders. The Serie A will kick off this weekend and AS Roma are desperate to sign a quality centre-back before it's too late.
AS Roma were earlier reportedly looking to sign Toby Alderweireld from Tottenham Hotspur. However, they were unwilling to match Alderweireld's £25 million release clause and the Belgian international ended up staying put.
