Liverpool are in the midst of a search for the ideal replacement for Virgil Van Dijk , whose future at Anfield remains a mystery. The Dutch defender's contract expires next summer, and although the club has expressed interest in renewing it, there is still no certainty about his continued contract. Given this scenario, the Reds' football management has been scouring the market for months in search of a reliable center back.

Guarantee center and a great bargain on the market

One of the names that has gained traction in recent weeks is Stefan De Vrij , currently a defender for Inter Milan . The 33-year-old Dutchman's contract with the Italian club expires next summer and doesn't appear likely to renew, which would make him an extremely attractive option on the market. His experience at the European elite and his defensive solidity make him a perfect fit for Arne Slot's scheme.

Furthermore, his current salary is around €3.8 million per season, a figure that Liverpool can afford, and they would see him as an unbeatable market opportunity. De Vrij would bring leadership and quality in passing, qualities that have been fundamental to the Reds' defense under Van Dijk in recent years.
