De Vrij to Inter, does everything change? Romano: “The offer is ready”

Stefan de Vrij is on the list of players whose contracts with Inter expire at the end of June, and at 34 years old he seemed destined to leave on a free transfer as part of the rejuvenation process the Inter management is working on. However, even in Inter-Cagliari, the Dutch defender proved to be reliable, and so internally the club is considering options that could lead to a twist.

This was discussed by transfer market expert journalist Fabrizio Romano: “De Vrij has played little this year, it’s true, but he remains a very reliable player, that’s how Inter sees it: a guy who has never caused problems, who has always been very useful on and off the pitch, even in the locker room, experience, leadership, quality. In short, De Vrij has once again confirmed his absolute reliability. While Acerbi’s contract 100% will not be renewed, then in football, guys, never say never, but at the moment the indication is that Acerbi and Inter will part ways at the end of the season and there has never been any doubt, as for Stefan de Vrij, I understand that Inter is preparing a renewal offer“.

Romano then adds: “It would clearly be a short-term renewal, of brief duration, but internally Inter has already started preparing a renewal offer for Stefan de Vrij. It’s clear that then the ball will be in the player’s court. De Vrij remains a player sought after by many teams, especially abroad, there are several clubs ready to offer him the chance to be a key player almost every week, while at Inter it might be more a matter of rotation over many matches. In short, de Vrij has to make a life choice as well, even on a personal level, he’s no longer a youngster and so clearly, being one of his last contracts, he’ll have to make evaluations with his family, about sporting ambitions but also personal ones. So de Vrij will evaluate this offer from Inter, he already has other proposals, but this is a factor to consider, that is, the possibility that de Vrij might consider a renewal with Inter. This is something that a few months ago was not considered, now with the idea of parting ways with Acerbi, having once again seen the quality and professionalism of de Vrij, in short, the idea of continuing together with Inter would be pleasing. Then clearly we’ll have to see the player, what kind of prospects he chooses to follow regarding his future”.
