Liverpool target denies that he's signing new Lazio deal
The Dutch international has recently been linked to Liverpool, but sporting director Igli Tare denied reports that the former Feyenoord man would be on his way, saying that De Vrij would sign a new deal.
"The next few hours will be decisive, but we're in a good place and there will be positive news soon," Tare told Sky Sport Italia.
Yet Dr Vrij - who is also liked by Manchester United and Lazio, among others - immediately denied Tare’s comments, telling the same outlet that there is “still no certainty.”
The Dutchman went down three seasons ago with an ACL tear, but has otherwise been one of the best defenders in Serie A, justifying the interest of teams like Juventus, too.
“I can’t say anything and I can’t add anything to what has been said in recent times.
“It’s a great honour to wear the Lazio shirt, I’m fine here and playing for a top team certainly helps, but I haven’t signed anything yet. We’re talking, but patience is needed.”
