Manchester United are leading the race to sign Lazio’s highly-rated defender, Stefan de Vrij, although the Red Devils are likely to face competition from Chelsea and AC Milan.
According to reports from Il Messaggero, the centre-back is likely to be heading towards Old Trafford in the summer. José Mourinho is a big admirer of the defender, and United are believed to have reached a verbal agreement to sign the Lazio star for €35m. The Dutch international has only 12 months remaining on his contract, and he is widely expected to leave the Serie A giants in the summer.
