Liverpool Defender Dejan Lovren Could Be Charged With Perjury in Croatia Alongside Luka Modric

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren is expected to face charges of perjury in Croatia, similar to Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric's charges, relating to their respective transfers away from Dinamo Zagreb.

Modric is awaiting trial for charges relating to his move to Tottenham in 2008, and Lovren is being investigated in relation to his move to Lyon in 2010, after both found themselves caught up in a case against Dinamo Zagreb's former director Zdravko Mamic.

Croatian journalist Aleksandar Holiga revealed the findings of the court on Twitter.

Mamic was found guilty of making personal profits as a result of the transfers, and was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison.
