Transfer U-turn as AC Milan in talks with Liverpool star’s representatives AC Milan are in talks in Italy with Dejan Lovren’s representatives over a move for the Liverpool defender, claims a report. La Gazzetta and Milannews both report that former Real Madrid striker Predrag Mijatovic was spotted arriving in Italy to hold talks with the club. Mijatovic is an intermediary for agent Vlado Lemic, who represents a number of Croatian players including Lovren, Nemanja Matic and Luka Modric. It’s understood Lovren’s proposed move to Milan was under discussion and that has been corroborated by Sport Mediaset, who claim Milan have again rekindled interest in Lovren. According to reports in the Italian media last month, Lovren was targeted by AC Milan’s new managerial regime as they look to return to the upper echelons of Serie A next season. That came via Gianluca DiMarzio, who claimed the club hoped the promise of regular first-team football would be enough to persuade the former Southampton man to push for the move to the San Siro. The Reds though are demanding £25million for the defender, who has two years remaining on his deal, and with Liverpool holding the option to extend that by a further 12 months. Milan apparently want Liverpool to lower their demands for Lovren and that appears to be the major sticking point.
