Liverpool have bounced back quickly after the haphazard saga starring Virgil van Dijk, but now are looking towards his Dutch teammate Stephan de Vrij as Sky Sports Italia claim that Lazio have rejected a £17m bid from Liverpool for the center back.
Liverpool is believed to make an improved offer, as the ball-playing center back seems to be a perfect fit to Jurgen Klopp’s style of play, with Lazio slapping a £30m price tag on the player.
Liverpool will be looking to negotiate a lower fee with Stephan’s contract running into its final year and his reluctance to sign a new contract will also make Lazio consider their option to cash in on the defender before he leaves for free next summer.
Liverpool however, is not the only clubs linked with the 25-year-old, Manchester United and Inter Milan are also said to be interested in the player.
