Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij is set to leave in June with his contract renewal having been withdrawn, according to the Serie A side's sporting director.
Sky Sports reports, Liverpool were interested in landing the Dutchman.
The player's current contract will expire at the end of the season, which means De Vrij would be a free agent after June.
"Lazio have withdrawn the proposal we made for a new contract to De Vrij," Lazio's sporting director Igli Tare told Mediaset Premium.
"We are withdrawing for reasons that we will explain later on. It was a choice made after many months of negotiations, but there is also a limit to how things went.
"He has been an exemplary professional and we thank him for that as well as what he'll do until the end of the season. He gave a lot to the club, just as we gave a great deal to him, but our paths will divide in June".
