Inter coach Antonio Conte deems Dutch international central defender Stefan de Vrij to be absolutely untouchable and not for sale according to a report from Italian news outlet CalcioMercato.com.

It did not take long for Conte to convince club management to also deem the player as being not for sale, not that it was exactly difficult for him to do so, the report explains.

Stefan de Vrij has drawn links to Barcelona but neither Inter, nor the player, have ever opened up to a possible farewell and the report goes on to state that Inter are considering handing the Dutch national team player a contract extension.

The former Lazio player is already under contract with Inter through to the end of the 2022/23 season and the report claims that his agent Mino Raiola, who has excellent relations with Inter chief executive Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta, will ask for Inter to increase his client’s current €3.8 million annual salary.
