Chelsea planning swoop for Dutch centre-back?

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Inter Milan defender Stefan de Vrij at the end of the season.

The 30-year-old has been a key player for the Nerazzurri over the past few years, but he could leave on a free transfer next summer.

The Dutchman has snubbed a new contract beyond June 2023, and reports claim that Chelsea are keeping a close eye on his situation.

The Blues are no strangers to pursuing experienced stars. They have signed Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly in recent transfer windows.

De Vrij is another player that has been on their radar for some time and he could move to Stamford Bridge on a free transfer next summer.

The former Lazio man has impressed with his aerial presence and distribution. He has been one of Serie A's best-performing centre-backs.

Apart from Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal have also been linked with him in the past, but they appear to have cooled their interest
