Perisic, who currently plies his trade in Italy with Inter, has been linked with leaving the Serie A club in the summer amid interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Lovren, who has seen Perisic in action at close quarters on the international scene for Croatia, has little doubt about the winger's quality.
And the Liverpool defender would love to see his countryman arrive to strengthen the squad at Anfield, though he does not know if talk a move could happen is true.
"He is a top quality player. At Liverpool, he would be welcomed with open arms", Lovren was quoted as saying by Italian outlet FCInterNews.it.

"Obviously I do not know if a deal is true.
"What I can say is that he has exceptional football skills, knowledge and above average quality."
Inter snapped Perisic up from Bundesliga club Wolfsburg in 2015 and he has established himself as a key man for the Nerazzurri at the San Siro.
At international level the winger has made 55 appearances for Croatia, scoring 16 goals in the process.
Inter are expected to field offers for the 28-year-old in the summer transfer window.
