Stefan de Vrij might be one of the easiest players for Liverpool to sign this summer as the Dutchman has refused to agree on a new contract with Lazio and could walk free next summer if he doesn’t sign one.

The 25-year-old made a move to Serie A following an impressive show in the FIFA World Cup 2014 and has slowly established himself as one of the best defenders in the league despite an injury ridden season in between.

De Vrij has been linked with a move to Serie A giants Juventus and understandably so after the departure of Leonardo Bonucci this summer. If the Reds are to snap up the wantaway defender, then they must make their move quickly.

The player brings a considerable amount of experience playing in European competitions and on the international stage and could prove to be a very wise addition to the squad.

He averaged 4.72 clearances and 2.38 interceptions per 90 minutes in the league last season.
