Liverpool are seriously interested in signing Inter centre-back Stefan de Vrij.

The 28-year-old is someone the Reds admire greatly.

The club is experiencing a crisis at centre-back, with Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez out with long term problems.

And according toFCInterNews, the Anfield club may even bid for De Vrij in January.

The issue is that Inter is an ambitious club and may not want to sell a key player in the middle of the season.

A Netherlands international with 42 caps, De Vrij still has three years on his contract with Inter.
