No Second Chances For Netherlands Defender As Inter Milan Prepare To Cut Ties At End Of The Season | OneFootball

Inter Milan appear ready to part ways with Stefan de Vrij when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The Dutch defender is among several senior players whose deals run out this summer, including Francesco Acerbi, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Yann Sommer and Matteo Darmian.

However, de Vrij’s future now looks the most clearly defined, via FCInterNews.

During the winter transfer window, the former Lazio centre-back came close to leaving Milan to reunite with Simone Inzaghi at Al-Hilal.

The move did not materialise, but it signalled that his time at San Siro may be approaching its conclusion.

According to transfer expert Matteo Moretto, the chances of a renewal are now extremely slim. Inter are therefore expected to allow the 32-year-old to depart on a free transfer when the season ends.

De Vrij joined the Nerazzurri in the summer of 2018 and has played a key role during one of the club’s most successful recent cycles.

His positional intelligence, composure and experience helped anchor the defence through domestic and European campaigns.

If this proves to be his final season in black and blue, he will leave as a respected figure who contributed significantly to Inter’s modern resurgence.
