Borussia Dortmund are ready to rival Lazio for the signature of Feyenoord’s young central defender Stefan de Vrij with Manchester United waiting in the wings.

De Vrij has been on the radar of a number of big clubs in Europe and is expected to make the final Dutch squad that will travel to Brazil for this summer’s World Cup.











The Dutch defender has been extensively scouted by Lazio and the club have already made a bid of around €5m which was rejected by Feyenoord.

However, Borussia Dortmund have entered the market for De Vrij and are looking at the possibility to bring the Dutchman to Dortmund this summer, according to Italian daily La Repubblica.

The Germans are still to make an official offer for the 22-year-old but are believed to have contacted the Dutch outfit to enquire about his availability.

De Vrij is a personal favourite of Dutch national team manager Louis van Gaal and it is believed that the 62-year-old would like to take the young central defender with him to Manchester United after the World Cup.
