Manchester City, United and Liverpool target Stefan De Vrij ‘seriously considering’ Barcelona move this summer

The talented Dutch centre-back will be available on a free transfer too after contract negotiations fell apart earlier this year.

But Barcelona now lead the race for De Vrij after entering the race late on.

According to reports in Italy, the Lazio star is “seriously considering” a move to the Nou Camp.

Last month, Serie A club director Igli Tare broke the news De Vrij would not be staying at Lazio beyond this season.

“We are withdrawing for reasons that we will explain later on.

“He gave a lot to the club, just as we gave a great deal to him, but our paths will divide in June.

“It’s a matter of fairness. This is not the opportune time to give the reasons for this decision, but we had to give a response and we gave it this evening.

“It is better to look forward, as Lazio are a side who have grown in recent years and will continue to grow, because we certainly do not lack players.”
