De Vrij played for local Ouderkerk aan den IJssel club VV Spirit for five seasons. At the age of 10, he attended a Feyenoord talent day. After various training sessions and a friendly match against ARC, De Vrij was officially asked to join Feyenoord's youth division. [5] At VV Spirit, De Vrij often played as a central midfielder, but at Feyenoord he got turned into a defender. The youngster developed himself rapidly. After playing for Feyenoord U15, De Vrij was one of the players to skip the U16 team to play in the U17 immediately. [5]

On 17 July 2009, De Vrij signed his first professional contract with Feyenoord until summer 2012. [6] De Vrij made his official debut for Feyenoord's first team on 24 September 2009, when he replaced Kelvin Leerdam in the 58th minute in the KNVB Cup away match against Harkemase Boys (0–5). [7] On 6 December 2009, De Vrij made his Eredivisie debut in the home match against FC Groningen (3–1), when he replaced Denny Landzaat in the 89th minute. [8] Aged 18 by its end, his first professional season saw him make 21 appearances, 17 of which were in the league.

During the 2012–13 season, De Vrij replaced Ron Vlaar as team captain. However, after a poor run of form in the following campaign, De Vrij was stripped of his armband as it was given first to star striker Graziano Pellè and then to vice-captain Jordy Clasie after the former struggled with disciplinary issues. [9] [10]

Lazio

On 30 July 2014, De Vrij joined Serie A club Lazio for an undisclosed fee. He said "Lazio really proved that they wanted me and I am very happy I have made this move. I hope to become a more complete defender in Italy." De Vrij had been widely expected to follow his international manager Louis van Gaal to Manchester United. [11]

He made his debut on 24 August in the third round of the Coppa Italia, and scored the third goal of a 7–0 home win over third-tier Bassano Virtus. [12] A week later, he played his first Serie A match as Lazio began the season with a 3–1 defeat at A.C. Milan. [13] On 21 September, he was sent off in the 85th minute of a game away to Genoa which Lazio had been dominating, and two minutes later Mauricio Pinilla scored the only goal to give Genoa victory. [14] De Vrij featured in the 2015 Coppa Italia Final on 20 May against Juventus, being substituted for Keita at half time in extra time in an eventual 2–1 defeat. [15]

His second season began with the 2015 Supercoppa Italiana, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–0 loss to Juventus in Shanghai. [16] In September, he picked up a knee injury on international duty but was passed fit to play a further match for the Netherlands, infuriating Lazio's medical staff. [17] He did not make a sufficient recovery, and was subjected to an operation the following month. [18] In November, it was confirmed that he would miss the next six months due to the injury. [19]

He scored his first goal for the club in Serie A on 11 September 2016 in a 1–1 away draw to Chievo. [20]

Following months of speculation, on 28 May 2018, De Vrij announced that he was going to join Inter Milan starting on 1 July. [22] [23] On 11 July, he was officially presented as an Inter player, signing a contract until June 2023. [24] De Vrij received squad number 6, and made his competitive debut on 19 August in the opening championship week against Sassuolo. [25]

He scored his first goal for Nerazzurri one week later, putting his side two goals up against Torino at home, in an eventual 2–2 draw. [26] In September 2018, De Vrij played his 100th match in Serie A in the 2–1 home win over Fiorentina. [27] [28] He also made his first UEFA Champions League appearance in season opener against Tottenham Hotspur, assisting Matías Vecino's injury-time winner for a 2–1 home win. [29] De Vrij eventually played 5 out of 6 matches in the competition's group stage, which saw en early elimination of Inter, instead continuing their European adventure in knockout phase of UEFA Europa League. [30]

Later on 14 March 2019, in the second leg of Europa League round of 16, De Vrij's wrong ball control resulted fatal for Inter who conceded inside 5 minutes, and eventually lost the game to Eintracht Frankfurt 1–0 at San Siro, crashing out of competition 1–0 on aggregate. [31] Three days later, De Vrij scored in the Derby della Madonnina match against rivals Milan, helping his team to win 3–2, [32] taking back the third place in championship, [33] and completing the first league double over them since 2011–12 season. [34]

On 9 November 2019, in the 2019–20 season, De Vrij made his 50th appearance in all competitions for Inter in a 2–1 league win over Verona at San Siro. [35] On 8 July 2023, De Vrij extended his contract with the club until 2025. [36]

De Vrij's strong development at Feyenoord did not pass by unnoticed, as he quickly received his first invitation for a national youth team. [5] On 21 November 2007, the Netherlands U16 won the friendly match against Ukraine U16 (1–0), with De Vrij's first appearance in the starting line-up. [37]

De Vrij was active on the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship in Germany. The Dutch team, aided by a strong contingent of seven Feyenoord players in the squad, finished second after losing the final to Germany in extra-time (2–1). [38] De Vrij was paired up with Dico Koppers in central defence [39] and participated in every match the Oranje played without getting substituted, making a notable contribution. [5] With a second place on the European Championship, the Netherlands U17 qualified for the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria.

Senior team

In May 2012, De Vrij was named in the provisional list of 36 players for UEFA Euro 2012 but was cut from the final 23-man squad. On 15 August 2012, De Vrij made his debut under new manager Louis van Gaal in the Netherlands' 4–2 loss against Belgium in a friendly match. [40]

In the Netherlands' first game of UEFA Euro 2016 qualification away to the Czech Republic on 9 September 2014, De Vrij equalised with a header from Daley Blind's cross but the Dutch lost 2–1. [44] He headed the team into the lead after 13 minutes in an eventual 2–0 win over Spain in a friendly at the Amsterdam ArenA on 31 March 2015, also wearing the captain's armband after Wesley Sneijder's substitution. [45]

In June 2021, De Vrij was included in coach Frank de Boer's squad for UEFA Euro 2020. He started all three group matches, as well as the team's 2–0 loss to the Czech Republic in the round of 16. [48]
