Klopp eyes Subotic loan deal
Jurgen Klopp is talking to former club Dortmund about centre-half Neven Subotic as he bids to shore up Liverpool’s injury stricken defence.
The Anfield boss hopes to bring in an experienced centre half on loan before Friday's FA Cup game at Exeter.
Reds defender Tiago Ilori’s 12 month loan has been cancelled by Aston Villa and he could go into the squad for Friday’s FA Cup visit to Exeter, but Liverpool still want an experienced addition in defence.
Talks are continuing over Subotic, who Klopp took to Dortmund from Mainz, but negotiations are stuck, and the Reds have also been in discussion with Inter about the possible loan of Italy international Andrea Ranocchia.
Liverpool have tried to negotiate a deal to bring Joel Matip to the club in January, instead of waiting until the summer to sign him on a free transfer at the end of his current contract.
