As reported by Italian newspaper Il Messaggero (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) earlier today, the Reds are considering making an offer for the 26-year-old Serbian midfielder through his agent Mateja Kezman, who is already in talks with Lazio regarding Adam Marusic’s renewal and the deal for Dimitrije Kamenovic.
