Reported Chelsea target Stefan de Vrij has turned down a contract offer from Lazio.

That's according to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t TalkSport), who noted the centre-back has little more than a year left on his deal and has not agreed to new terms with the Serie A side.

The Blues aren't desperate for defensive reinforcements, as their back three of Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilicueta and David Luiz have boasted the joint-best defence in the Premier League this term with 20 goals conceded, while Kurt Zouma and Nathan Ake are on hand to provide strong alternative options.
