Inter Milan defender Stefan De Vrij could reportedly be set for a move to the Premier League this summer.
The Netherlands international has spent the past three years at San Siro since arriving on a free from Lazio, but he now has less than two years left to run on his deal at the club.
De Vrij was an integral part of Antonio Conte's Scudetto-winning side last term, but with no contract extension in sight, Inter are thought to be considering a sale in order to make a healthy profit.
According to Tuttosport, De Vrij's agent Mino Raiola is aiming to engineer a Premier League transfer for the centre-back, who could be available for a fee of €40m (£33.9m) this summer.
No specific clubs have been mentioned, but Chelsea are thought to be in the market for a new centre-back, and their pursuit of Sevilla's Jules Kounde is understood to have stalled.
De Vrij boasts seven goals and six assists from 124 appearances at Inter, who are also rumoured to be bracing themselves for a £100m offer from Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku.
