Liverpool is in full search for the ideal replacement for Virgil Van Dijk, whose future at Anfield remains uncertain. The Dutch defender's contract ends next summer, and although the club has shown interest in renewing it, there are still no certainties about his continuity. Faced with this scenario, the 'Reds' sports management has been scouring the market for a dependable center-back for months.

Dependable center-back and a great bargain in the market

One of the names that has gained strength in recent weeks is Stefan De Vrij, the current defender for Inter Milan. The 33-year-old Dutchman's contract with the Italian club expires next summer, and it doesn't seem likely that he will renew his contract, making him a highly attractive market option. His experience in European elite football and defensive solidity make him a profile that fits perfectly into Arne Slot's scheme.

Furthermore, his current salary is around 3.8 million euros per season, a manageable figure for Liverpool, which would see in him an unbeatable market opportunity. De Vrij would bring leadership and quality in ball distribution, qualities that have been crucial in the 'Reds' defense with Van Dijk in recent years.
