De Vrij ready to leave Inter and join Panathinaikos as free agent | OneFootball

Inter defender Stefan de Vrij is reportedly on the verge of joining Panathinaikos as a free agent, so will not be extending his contract.

The 34-year-old had been at San Siro since the summer of 2018, when he also left Lazio as a free agent with his deal running down.

There had still been some small hope that he would negotiate an extension with the Nerazzurri, but it seems as if his time in Italy has come to a close.

According to transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano, personal terms have been agreed with Panathinaikos and they are just waiting for the final all-clear from the Dutch defender.

He really has been a stalwart of Serie A, first coming to Lazio from Feyenoord in a deal worth €7m in the summer of 2014.

De Vrij went on to make 308 Serie A appearances, scoring 20 goals and providing seven assists.

He won three Serie A titles with Inter, three editions of the Coppa Italia and three Italian Supercups, along with the 2017-18 Supercoppa Italiana for Lazio.
