Bayer Leverkusen have become the latest side to express a desire to sign Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren, who is continuing to attract concrete interest from across Europe after falling down the pecking order under Jurgen Klopp.
The German manager had previously stated his intention to keep hold of the Croatian, but increased interest from Italian - and now German - sides may tempt him to part with the centre half if a suitable offer comes in.
With a host of Serie A sides chasing a deal, Bild now claim Bayer have entered the fray as they looks to add defensive reinforcements to a side that secured Champions League football for this season after a fourth placed finish in the Bundesliga last term.
