Zenit St Petersburg have expressed an interest in signing Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren.
Lovren joined the Reds from Southampton in 2014 but finds himself at fourth choice in the pecking order at Anfield behind Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.
The Croatian was the subject of interest from both Roma and AC Milan last summer but a finalised deal never materialised.
The ECHO understands that Russian Premier League champions Zenit are now interested in acquiring the centre-back's services this summer, though are yet to make contact with the Reds about a transfer.
Should the 31-year-old depart this term, he will do so with the best wishes of all at the club after a committed six years of service.
Lovren has so far made 185 appearances for Liverpool, scoring eight times and providing four assists from the heart of defence.
