Stefan de Vrij warns off interest from Premier League giants as defender enters Lazio talks: 'I'm happy here'

Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij looks to end speculation surrounding his future as the Dutchman enters new contract negotiations.

The 25-year-old's contract expires in June but came close to a move to Manchester United in 2014, then managed by Louis van Gaal, while a Liverpool side riddled with defensive problems has also shown an interest.

The centre back has become the heart of the Rome side's defence appearing in all but one of Lazio's eight Serie A games this season, scoring twice, and according to The Sun, insists his future is with the Italian side.
