Liverpool blown a flawless defeat again

​Liverpool are on the verge to lose out in their chase for the Lazio player.

Lazio centre-back Stefan De Vrij according to 90min is close to agreeing a new contract with the club despite transfer interest from Liverpool.

The Reds are still on the lookout for a new central defender after their pursuit of Southampton star Virgil van Dijk ended in embarrassment, but an initial offer for De Vrij was immediately rejected by Lazio.

While the Premier League giants consider a second bid, Lazio have reacted quickly and intend to tie the Netherlands international down to a new contract, keeping the 25-year-old at the Stadio Olimpico for the foreseeable future.
