# Liverpool: Fans unhappy with Stefan de Vrij rumour

**Some Liverpool fans have been bemoaning the Reds being linked with Inter Milan defender Stefan de Vrij, with many growing bored of the rumour.**

A new centre-back is likely to be at the top of Jurgen Klopp’s agenda this summer, as he looks to address a problem area this season.

Liverpool have had to [make do without](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/sperrenundverletzungen/verein/31) Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip for many months, playing a huge part in the Reds’ struggles in 2020/21.

Ozan Kabak was [signed on loan](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12206006/ozan-kabak-transfer-liverpool-sign-schalke-centre-back-on-six-month-loan-with-option-to-buy) in February and has performed well, but it has still been a far-from-ideal scenario, with Nathaniel Phillips perhaps not at the level required, despite some admirable displays.

Ibrahima Konate seems to be the [most likely](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-transfer-rumours/liverpool-ibrahima-konate-deal-could-hinge-on-two-factors/) centre-back to be heading to Liverpool, but [*FC Inter News*](https://www.fcinternews.it/esclusive/i-fcin-i-de-vrij-seg-la-battaglia-legale-non-influira-sul-rinnovo-con-l-inter-raiola-ha-offerte-ma-e-tutto-impostato-367289) claim that De Vrij is also a target.

The 29-year-old has made [31 appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/82399/Show/Stefan-de-Vrij) in Serie A this season, playing his part in Inter being crowned champions under Antonio Conte.

### Fans don’t want Liverpool to sign De Vrij
