Sources: Door opens for Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle to sign Stefan de Vrij after £15m reveal

Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle United target Stefan de Vrij has been told by Inter Milan he can leave this summer for £15million, Football Insider understands.

The centre-back, 30, is out of contract in 2023 and Inter are strapped for cash.

A recruitment source has told Football Insider that De Vrij has yet to open talks on a new Inter deal and his future is up in the air going into the main window.

Previously valued at around £40m, the Holland international’s price tag has now tumbled by £25m.

That has opened the door to De Vrij’s Premier League suitors, who include Tottenham, Newcastle and Villa.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of De Vrij and was keen to lure him to Spurs in January after managing him during his successful Inter reign.

Meanwhile, Football Insider revealed last month (18 April) that Aston Villa are in the market for a left-sided centre-back this summer – casting new doubt on Tyrone Mings’ future.

De Vrij fits the bill for Steven Gerrard’s side as he has been utilised on the left side of a three-man Inter defence often this term.

The former Feyenoord man has played 37 times for the Italian giants this season – with the Nerazzurri trailing rivals AC Milan by just two points in the race for the title.

The defender was instrumental to the side which won Serie A under Conte’s stewardship last season.

Newcastle (10th on 43 points) lead Aston Villa (13th on 40 points) in a bid to finish in the Premier League’s top ten.

Meanwhile, Tottenham (fifth on 61 points) continue to pile the pressure on fourth-placed rivals Arsenal.
