De Vrij set for Inter?

By Football Italia staff

Reports suggest Inter have an agreement with Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij, and just need the go-ahead from Suning Group.

The Dutch defender is out of contract at the end of the season, and while the Biancocelesti have offered a €2.5m per season renewal, with a €27-28m release clause, they want an answer before the end of the year.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have been working on a deal for the centre-back for over a year, competing with Juventus.

With the Bianconeri ready to take Mattia Caldara to Turin next summer and offer a new deal to Andrea Barzagli, the Nerazzurri are thought to be in pole position.

Gazzetta reports that there is already a basic agreement on a five-year contract worth €3.5m per season, with some easily achievable bonuses included.

Now the Beneamata just need to the go-ahead from owners Suning Group to definitively seal the deal before Manchester United, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid can start making serious moves.
