Liverpool must go to £25 million to land Southampton defender Dejan Lovren.

The Daily Star says Liverpool have been told to raise their bid to £25million if they want to sign Lovren.

Brendan Rodgers is very keen on the Croatian and wants him to follow his ex-team-mates Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert to Merseyside.

Lovren himself has said his head is already at Anfield but Southampton have already turned down a £20million bid.
