Stefan de Vrij will depart Internazionale and join Panathinaikos after personal terms were agreed with the Greek club. The 34-year-old Dutch centre-back is concluding his eight-year stint at San Siro, having joined Inter from Lazio in summer 2018.
De Vrij made 308 Serie A appearances for Inter, scoring 20 goals and providing seven assists. He won three Serie A titles, three Coppa Italia trophies, and three Italian Supercups during his time in Milan, establishing himself as a reliable defensive anchor.
The veteran defender brings significant experience to Panathinaikos after consistently performing at the highest level across multiple seasons in Italy's top division. His departure marks another summer exit for Inter, which is reshaping its squad following a Champions League qualification miss last season.
Inter's defensive transition deepens with de Vrij's exit, though the club recently extended Matteo Darmian's contract through summer 2030 to bolster backline continuity. Loss of experienced defensive depth may impact squad stability for UEFA competition next season.
