Stefan de Vrij Reportedly Eyes January Exit From Inter to Revive Netherlands Hopes

The 33-year-old is seeking regular minutes to strengthen his Netherlands case for the 2026 World Cup.

Overview

  • Inter are reportedly willing to facilitate a winter departure despite his contract running to June 2026, with a minimal fee or early release floated.
  • The centre-back has made only seven competitive appearances under coach Cristian Chivu this season.
  • Nottingham Forest are cited as a leading Premier League suitor, with Benfica, Bologna and Al-Ittihad also linked.
  • Italian reports attribute his reduced role to Inter’s move toward younger options, with Yann Bisseck often preferred in the back three.
  • De Vrij’s salary is reported at about €3.8 million net per year, a factor under consideration for potential January bidders.
