Lazio's new contract negotiations with Stefan de Vrij continue to stumble.

The Rome club launched talks over a new deal with the Holland defender a fortnight ago - but the meeting broke off with little headway made.

The influential Lalaziosiamonoi.it says there's concern De Vrij could skip out on Lazio when his deal expires in June.

Juventus GM Beppe Marotta is keeping tabs on developments closely, but isn't alone.

Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, where sports director Andrea Berta is a fan, are also in contact with De Vrij's camp about a pre-contract deal in January.
