AS Roma looking into cut-price deal for Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren

Serie A giants AS Roma are looking to land the signature of Dejan Lovren from Liverpool during this summer’s transfer, a report from Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Sport Witness) claims.

The Croatian has struggled for regular first-team football with the Reds this term and he has been restricted to only nine starts in the Premier League.

With less than 14 months remaining on his contract, he has been fancied to head through the exit door and it is reported that Roma could lure him to the Serie A.

The Giallorossi have been in discussions with Manchester United over a permanent deal for Chris Smalling (currently on loan with them) but they are unlikely to afford the £17m price tag.
