Lovren signed through '20-'21
2nd highest paid defender on roster
Salary: 100k / week ....5.2 mill / yr
Big payout for roster depth while younger starters earn a fraction.
In value terms....not ideal
Legal issues have disappeared

Financially, LFC has ample funds to pay premium wages and trophy ambitions that require quality depth at the very end of the bench and beyond.
Still.......5.2 mill / yr for what will likely be a depth only defender who, despite his self proclaimed "Best Defender in the World" post World Cup delusions, lost the trust of management to the point LFC went out and paid a record fee for VvD and..... has been effectively replaced by younger, faster, better, cheaper players.
Will LFC ever cut bait on Dejan Lovren?
Should they?
Could they?
