Inter Milan and Holland star centre-back Stefan De Vrij is willing to turn down interest from Liverpool FC with the player being keen on the idea of extending his stint in the Serie A, according to reports from SempreInter.
With long-term injuries affecting the Merseysiders’ defensive department, Jurgen Klopp has been forced to turn to the upcoming transfer window as an option to fortify his injury-depleted backline with the addition of a new face.
De Vrij’s series of consistent showings in the Inter Milan colours presented the Dutchman as a viable option for Liverpool FC to target, however, recent reports confirm that the defender is eager on signing upon improved terms with the Italian side rather than seal a move to the Premier League.
Liverpool FC’s aim to strengthen their defence will be tested with De Vrij’s willingness to turn down any potential approach from England and play out in the Serie A for the near future.
Joe Gomez and Van Dijk remain unavailable for the remainder of the 2020-21 season, leaving Klopp with limited options to draft in the centre-back role in the absence of any further signings this January.
