“I feel relief the transfer window is shut. I got tired of listening and reading every day about me staying or leaving from Liverpool,” Lovren told Croatian newspaper Sportske Novotsti.
“Everyone wrote’Dejan is here, Dejan is there’, and understood nothing. I was annoyed by it. (But) yes, I did consider moving. It didn’t happen, I was told I am needed by Liverpool and I accepted that, although I wanted to leave.
“I’m not the type of player that likes to be benched and make money. I was advised by some people around me’what do you care? You are in a club, closed up, consider the money’ – however I’m happy on the seat.
“I feel very happy because all of the time I believed LFC was me. I respect that a lot. Klopp told me’listen, friend, you are a participant. We won’t allow you to go online loan. We want you’.
“Last week I talked to Klopp again, he told me he understands me, knows I am not happy, however, he also said’look, now it’s finished, I’d like you to reset your mind, I locate you significant’.
