Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp makes Dejan Lovren reansfer decision

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has decided not to sell Dejan Lovren this summer, according Sky Sports. The 29-year-old has been linked with a move to AC Milan, however, Liverpool have no plans to sell him. Lovren was behind Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip in the Liverpool pecking order last season and made 11 Premier League starts. The centre-back moved to Anfield from Southampton in July 2014 after threatening to go on strike to force through a transfer. Meanwhile, Liverpool hero John Aldridge has urged his former club to sell if the right offer comes in. "It would not be a surprise to me to see Dejan Lovren leaving Liverpool this summer," he told the Irish Independent. "He has certainly improved under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff, while the presence of Virgil van Dijk alongside him has made a huge difference to a player who famously said he was one of the best defenders in the world after his performances at the World Cup last summer. "I don't think he is anywhere near as good as he thinks he is and Klopp clearly agrees, as he favoured Joel Matip ahead of Lovren for most of last season and young Joe Gomez is also waiting in the wings as a potential partner for Van Dijk. "Lovren will be on big money at Liverpool and if the club are looking to free up some space on the wage bill, he may be a player urged to leave as I don't see him getting too much first team football when Matip and Gomez are fit."
