Chelsea and Manchester United are leading the race to sign Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij in the summer.
The Dutchman has been linked with a move to the Premier League since finishing in the Team of the Tournament at the 2014 World Cup.
Some English clubs had been keen to strike up a deal during the January transfer window, but Lazio are not keen.
However, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, De Vrij will leave Italy in the summer and Chelsea and Manchester United are at the front of the queue to sign him.
