Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij is ready to move to England this summer.

The Mirror says De Vrij is ready to switch to the Premier League this summer — and is keen on joining Manchester United.

The Netherlands international centre-half is set to move on a Bosman free transfer after the Rome club publicly admitted they have given up on new-contract negotiations.

United are watching developments closely, and Lazio believe De Vrij already has an offer in place, which is why they have stopped discussions to extend his four-year stay.

United boss Jose Mourinho wants to rebuild his defence this summer, but is facing competition from Everton.
