Stefan De Vrij Stalls on Inter Move As Barcelona Prepare to Join Race for Dutch Defender

Stefan De Vrij's expected end-of-season move to Inter could be scuppered by Barcelona, who have launched a new proposal for the Lazio defender, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

De Vrij's contract at the Stadio Olimpico expires this summer, leaving him free to join another club. It has been expected for a while that he will join Inter, but is now stalling on that deal in the hope that Barcelona well cement their interest in the form of a contract offer.

Barcelona may be the more attractive proposition and would be able to offer De Vrij the more lucrative contract, but he is more likely to be a regular starter at Inter than at the Nou Camp.
