Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Stefan de Vrij’s situation as Newcastle United continue to be linked with a potential transfer move for the Inter Milan centre-back.
De Vrij has had a solid run in Serie A, and it looks like he could be a useful addition to this Newcastle side as they look to continue to improve and develop under Eddie Howe.
Newcastle has been touted as a potential destination for the experienced Dutch international in a report by Gazzetta dello Sport, quoted and translated by Sport Witness.
Romano points out that De Vrij will be out of contract in the summer of 2023, meaning Newcastle could wait until then to sign him as a free agent, or else they would have to make an offer good enough to tempt Inter into selling. early this January.

“At the moment there are no negotiations between Inter and any club for De Vrij,” Romano said.
“He could be on the move only in case a good proposal comes to the Italian club, as otherwise De Vrij could be free to sign with any other club in June 2023, being out of contract as things stand.”
It remains to be seen if Newcastle will try to move quickly for De Vrij, or if they will be content to wait until next season to land the 30-year-old.
