De Vrij has evolved less, having two appearances out of 6 possible in the championship and a game in the Champions League, in two stages of group.
Pastorello: “De Vij and Acerbi want to stay at Inter”
“They could both play as holders. This year, the rotation is a little more pronounced than last year, but there are two extraordinary players who wear the T -shirt as a glove. Stefan has been here for a long time. He had the opportunity to leave this summer, but he chose to stay.
Acerbi has been at the less time, but it is already in the hearts of the fans. Both are very calm about the coming months. As the club transmitted, the renewal of the contracts will be discussed in April.
If they had a choice, I know that it would be happy to stay, but that will depend on many factors, “said Pastorello, who also impresses Ionuț Radu, according to sportmediaset.it.
