Chelsea are reportedly mulling over an offer for Liverpool target and Southampton defender Dejan Lovren this summer, according to The Surrey Mirror.
The Reds have been constantly linked with a switch for the talented Croat over the past few weeks, with some reports revealing that the Saints had agreed on a deal to allow the player's transfer to Anfield.
However, this seems to be untrue, after manager Ronald Koeman revealed that there have been no further bids for the 24-year-old since negotiations reached a dead end.
Surrey Mirror claims that the Blues boss Jose Mourinho is keen on signing a centre-back this summer, as he aims to have sufficient depth in the squad in case of injuries.
In addition to this, the West London giants could make a late bid to match the Saints' evaluation for the defender, as the club are keen on finding a genuine replacement for David Luiz.Â
Lovren made 32 appearances for the Saints in all competitions last season.
