The answer on the contract renewal is slow in coming, even if Inter are confident in De Vrij’s permanence. The question is: what can the Dutch give the Nerazzurri? The former mainstay of the back three has lost the title and is unable to play continuously this year. He’s only played once in Bologna, in the last 11 league games he’s only started four times. The best of the season he gave in the Champions League, against Robert Lewandowski’s Barcelona. It’s not what it used to be: net of Acerbi’s excellent performance, Inter need the real De Vrij.
