De Vrij: Liverpool and Inter target wants Premier League move

De Vrij: Liverpool and Inter target wants Premier League move

Lazio are still waiting on Stefan de Vrij’s final decision on whether he intends to sign a new contract with the club. Even at their Christmas dinner, the Dutch centre-back eluded questions from reporters and teammates. There is no news, but the Biancocelesti expect an answer by Christmas and retain hope that they can celebrate by confirming his renewal.
 
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Rome-based club has done everything possible to ensure de Vrij stays with them in the long-term, and not merely in view of a future sale. However, he has his heart set on a move to the Premier League or to a bigger club where he can regularly compete for trophies.
 
Lazio are offering him an annual salary of €3 million, but there are fears this won’t be enough to convince him to remain. The agency which takes care of the player’s business matters would like a €20 million release clause, which Claudio Lotito is reluctant to do.
