FC Barcelona is seeking an experienced, cost-effective central defender in January, and Inter's Stefan De Vrij is one of the candidates. His contract with Inter runs until June 30, 2026, and while no renewal discussions have occurred, it is not clear if the club would allow an early departure. Other clubs are also interested in De Vrij, with Tuttosport mentioning interest from Al Ittihad, and Nottingham Forest, Bologna, and Benfica also considering him.
