Inter Milan try to assure Stefan de Vrij's future

Inter Milan are very interested in Stefan de Vrij's renewal. The defender has become a fundamental player in Inter Milan's back line. Due to this, the Dutchman's contractual extension is a considered a priority in the short term for the Italians.

Tottenham have already tempted the Dutch player as they did months ago with Barcelona. Inter are afraid of losing the player as he is in the final year of his contract. The central defender with his quality and characteristics is not short of suitors.

Inter's intention is to begin negotiations with Rafaela Pimienta, De Vrij's lawyer, in order to reach an agreement as soon as possible and for them to not lose one of their most important assets. The salary the central defender currently gets is around 7.5 million euros a year.

His current market value is around 18 million euros. Therefore, it is an affordable transfer fee for a team who are looking to compete in Europe with great aspirations. Nevertheless, the player's salary is the variable which is causing the problem when it comes to negotiations.
