Report – Aging Netherlands & Italy Stars To Stay At Inter Milan This Summer | OneFootball

Veteran defenders Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi are both set to stay at Inter Milan this summer transfer window.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

De Vrij joined Inter in the summer of 2018 from Lazio. Meanwhile, Acerbi as been at the Nerazzurri since 2022, also arriving from the Biancocelesti.

There is no getting around the fact that both de Vrij and Acerbi are well on the wrong side of thirty, however.

De Vrij will turn 34 over the next season. Meanwhile, Acerbi will turn 38.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, however, Inter have no plan to offload either de Vrij or Acerbi this summer.

It is undoubtedly true that one of Inter’s priorities this summer is to lower the average squad age.

And in multiple areas of the pitch, the Nerazzurri have done just that.

However, in defense Inter are sticking with de Vrij and Acerbi.

Both of the two ex-Lazio veterans see their contracts with Inter run out at the end of next June. And there would be little chance of either sticking out beyond then.

However, for now, Inter will keep the reliable veterans on.
