Most of his Liverpool colleagues are on the beach, soaking up the sunshine as they rest tired bodies before a return for pre-season training in a few weeks.

Then there's Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana , both still continuing their seasons with international football today for Brazil and England, albeit both friendlies.

The accused is Zdravko Mamic, the former head of Dinamo Zagreb, and three co-defendants including his brother Zoran.

It's a complicated issue but at its heart is a claim from state prosecutors that Mamic damaged Dinamo to the cost of around £13m and the state by about £1.5m in unpaid taxes.

The transfers of Luka Modric and Lovren play a significant role in the alleged wrongdoing, though there is no suggestion of anything untoward by the players.

Lovren moved from his first club Dinamo to Lyon in early 2010 for a fee worth an initial 8million euros.

But prosecutors allege that Mamic was involved in preparing documents suggesting 50% of the fee was due to Lovren, money which it is alleged subsequently ended up with Mamic and his brother.

Similar claims are made about the Modric move from Dinamo to Spurs in 2008. Mamic denies any wrongdoing and has described the process as a "lie".

Modric gave evidence in Croatia today at Osijek County Court with Lovren expected in court tomorrow.
