Italian paper Corriere dello Sport are reporting that Lazio defender Stefan De Vrij has agreed terms to sign with rivals Inter Milan when his contract at the Olimpico expires this summer. Lotito confirmed recently that De Vrij would not be signing a new contract with The Eagles and this left the door open for a move away from the Italian capital.

A number of big teams registered their interest. Liverpool wanted to partner De Vrij up with his national team-mate Virgil Van Dijk. Arsenal’s heads were turned as they looked to sort out their defensive problems. However, it is now looking like the Dutchman will be joining Lazio’s Serie A rivals Inter.

The report reads…

“Inter knew that competition was very strong and competing with clubs like Barcelona would be very complicated. An assist for Inter is that Stefan has told his agency, SEG, that he is not interested in going to England or sitting on the bench. Inter have already guaranteed him the starting spot and a chance to stay in Serie A, the league that he knows very well, and also a chance to stay in Italy, the country that he loves very much.”

We expect De Vrij to complete his move away from Lazio this summer but will Inter be his destination?
