Dejan Lovren has revealed he wanted to leave Liverpool in the summer, but turned down a move to Roma because he did not want to go on loan.
The defender told Croatian outlet Sportske Novosti (h/t Goal's Stephen Darwin) he felt "relief" when the transfer window shut and said manager Jurgen Klopp told him he's still in his plans:
"There will be a lot of matches, some injuries are possible too. I wanted to leave, it didn't happen, I was told Liverpool need me and I accepted that. It was not meant to be for me to leave.
