Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij will stay at Inter Milan beyond the summer after the club decided to keep them on board.
According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the veteran duo has earned the management’s trust after an impressive season.
Despite being in the autumn of their playing careers, the experienced tandem has been impressive.
Therefore, Simone Inzaghi will have them in the dressing room next season.
Inter Milan Set to Keep Francesco Acerbi & Stefan de Vrij
Francesco Acerbi has established himself as the cornerstone of Inzaghi’s backline.
Though he’s 37, Acerbi’s influence on and off the pitch remains immense, providing leadership, composure, and tactical discipline.
However, injuries have plagued the former Lazio man throughout an exhausting campaign.
As such, De Vrij has often been called upon to fill the void, matching expectations without exception.
With Inter set to confirm both veterans, the club’s transfer plans for the summer may change.
Indeed, Inzaghi’s side may abandon their pursuit of a new center-back and focus on strengthening other departments.
