Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren is close to leaving the club and signing for Zenit St Petersburg in a £10.9million deal.
The Croatia international has spent six seasons at Anfield but has made just 15 appearances this season.
He has fallen to fourth-choice centre-back, behind Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip in the pecking order.
Lovren was set to enter the final year of his contract and although Liverpool have an option to extend that by a further 12 months, he looks set to move on.
