Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly interested in Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren after his move to Roma was called off last week.
The Croatia international has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield and has been linked with a move away during the summer transfer window.
And now Lovren could be on his way to the Bundesliga as Bayer Leverkusen are keen on the centre back, according to Sport BILD.
Leverkusen are reportedly looking to sign Lovren, who has not featured for the Reds this season, in a £2.7million loan deal.
The German outfit have until September 2 when the European transfer window shuts to try to close a deal.
Lovren joined Liverpool five years ago from Southampton and after a slow start became a prominent figure in the back four before seeing his playing time reduce last campaign - appearing in just 18 games.
Lovren has become fourth choice centre back behind Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip under manager Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool also signed 17-year-old Sepp van den Berg from FC Zwolle in June while Fabinho also can play at centre half.
Klopp and Lovren, who has two years left on his deal at Anfield, have a strong relationship but the boss recognises that the 30-year-old is too good to simply be someone who comes in and plays on an infrequent basis.

Sending Jedvaj on loan to Augsburg and replace him with Lovren? Ah OK.

If they're not obligated to buy him then I doubt the deal will go through.

Still a better cover than any academy players. At the same time him leaving could be a blessing in disguise allowing a youth to emerge.

If we are really after Havertz than LFC should just agree everything they offer and not ask much. So that we create a path for the future deal.
