older, more expensive than De Vrij. Inter-esque windows, to make sure the club gain more bleeding at their financial department

DE VRIJ’S AGENT: ’NO SHORTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES’

Speaking to TMW, Pastorello discussed De Vrij’s qualities and where De Vrij could play next in his career.
“De Vrij can play for all the top European clubs. He has great experience and a high-level tactical approach. He is an extremely intelligent guy and clearly you can see that on the pitch. He is a player who can play anywhere.

“At the end of the year there will be many top clubs looking for a centre-back, there will be no shortage of opportunities, but his evaluations will concern not only the contractual aspect, but also many elements.”
Inter have decided to try and retain the 30-year-old Dutchman and have reportedly offered him a new two-year deal, with a similar salary to what he earns now. It’s unclear if De Vrij will accept this or not, however, as he’s also been heavily linked with a move to Antonio Conte’s Tottenham.

The Dutch defender had a good relationship with Conte during their two years together in the Lombardy capital and he may welcome the chance to play his trade in the Premier League.
I personally think he would prefer to stay in Italy

I don't like that similar salary part. That would strongly point at him staying as a starting CB.

We can't have De Vrij as starting CB unless we lower our defence line and do the Conte ball by furiously defending our box. I don't know do we want to go there and can we win with such tactic (with Inzaghi leading us).

That "similar" part might be read as "almost the same". I have previously shared the figures: https://forzainterforums.com/index.php?threads/stefan-de-vrij.14325/post-2132018

Inter have offered Stefan de Vrij a 2-year contract with a salary of €3-3.5m. The defender asks for a 3-year deal with a salary of €4.2m + bonuses.
Club is not desperate in this case: he can stay on a lower salary (matching his performances TBH) or leave. Will be 31 in February and still has some good years in him.

I`m sure Pastorello would be happy to get him a better deal, but the club is probably banking on his resilient personality (and almost entire career in Serie A).

What do these "early discussions" involve?

Inter rep: "We would like to keep you here."

De Vrij: "Cool."

Inter rep: "No problem. Let's spend some money on food and tell everyone we had early discussions."

You can have him for €15m. Add it to the Skriniar & Bastoni extension fund. Move Skriniar to the middle spot and find a fast, strong, ball-playing RCB. Someone like Antonio Silva (GOAT potential imho), Simakan, Scalvini (maybe even Okoli?) etc. I miss playing FM.

6 more months, he might extend or go elsewhere during that time as well. Kind of like why we paid for Eriksen. Happens all the time. €15m might be steep though.
