Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren admits there was interest from other clubs this summer.

The Croatian was linked with AC Milan and Roma after struggling for playing time last season.

But a meeting with Jurgen Klopp convinced him to stay at Anfield.

The defender told Sky Sports: "It's a big place to leave after everything I went through here. There have been more positive days than the bad, especially after the Champions League final and the win was a big relief for me because I wanted to win something with this club, having been here for so many years.

"I would ask myself if we didn't win, should I stay or not and there was some interest with some other clubs but I had a good conversation with the manager. After that, the decision was easy so I stayed and I think we are on the right path to do something big this season again."
