Barcelona have pinpointed Southampton's Dejan Lovren as they consider options for central defence.
The 24-year-old has told Southampton he wants to leave and has attracted interest from Liverpool also.
Tough start: Dejan Lovren suffered some rough
justice in Croatia's World Cup opener after referee Yuichi Nishimura
gave a debatable penalty
The
central defender wrote an email to executive director Les Reed and
chairman Ralph Krueger on May 30 with notice of his desire to leave St
Mary's this summer.
In it, he outlined his ambition to play Champions League football next season and wants to move this summer.
On the move: Lovren has submitted a transfer request to leave Southampton with Barcelona rivalling Liverpool for his services
Lovren,
24, was signed from Lyon last summer for £7million and is determined to
quit the club to stay in the Barclays Premier League with a top four
team.
The
defender, who was outstanding in his first Premier League season, is
among a number of players who want to leave following the departure of
manager Mauricio Pochettino to Tottenham and Rickie Lambert to Liverpool
for £4m.
