Neven Subotic to hold talks with interested clubs

Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic has been given permission to hold talks with clubs interested in signing him during the summer.

Last month, the 27-year-old announced his desire to leave the Bundesliga giants after struggling for playing time under boss Thomas Tuchel and Liverpool - managed by former Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp - were quickly linked with an approach.

According to the Daily Mail, Sunderland and Stoke City also hold an interest in the centre-back and the Serbian international will now hold discussions with several teams as he weighs up his next move.

It is unclear whether Subotic will qualify for a work permit after not representing his country since 2013, but it is claimed that he favours a move to the Premier League.

Subotic has been with Dortmund since signing from Mainz in 2008.
