Dejan Lovren, the former Croatian national team player, has been mentioned several times as a potential reinforcement for Dinamo. Despite being informed at the end of last season that he is no longer considered part of Lyon's first team, he did not seek a new club this summer. Lovren is one of the highest-paid players in Lyon's locker room, earning around 400,000 euros per month. He has been training separately from the first team and was not registered for the Europa League group stage matches. His contract with Lyon expires on June 30th next year, and he last played for Lyon in January this year.

Dejan Lovren is being released from Lyon as he is not in the plans of the coach Pierre Sage. This marks the end of his second stint at Lyon. Dinamo had previously shown interest in bringing Lovren back and now they have the opportunity to sign him for free.

There were reports in French media that Dejan Lovren, who returned to Lyon from Zenit, was wanted by the new management at Dinamo Zagreb. However, it was clarified that Dinamo Zagreb has no interest in Lovren and no contacts were established between the Croatian champions and the player or his representatives. Lovren's high salary of 400,000 EUR per month was mentioned as a potential obstacle.

Dinamo is interested in bringing back Dejan Lovren. Last winter, Lovren was a target for Dinamo, but the transfer did not happen, and he returned to Lyon. Lyon wants to offload players with high salaries to alleviate financial strain. Lovren earns 400,000 euros per month, making him the second-highest-paid player in Lyon's squad.
