Roma defender Matteo Ferrari is edging towards a move to Milan, but there are rumours that Inter are also in the frame.
Ferrari’s deal at the Stadio Olimpico expires at the end of the month and the 29-year-old has refused to sign a contract extension with the Giallorossi.
Agent Gianni Corci has been keen to stress that his first priority is trying to find an agreement with the capital club, but it seems almost inevitable now that the former Everton man will leave on a free transfer.
According to Il Romanista, Milan are eyeing Ferrari as a possible replacement for Croatian international Dario Simic, who is headed for the San Siro exit.
The player is said to have his heart set on wearing the Rossoneri shirt and would accept a pay cut to join the world champions’ ranks, where he would provide much-needed defensive cover.
However, there are whispers that Inter may step in and beat their city rivals to the punch.
After last term’s injury crises, the Italian champions will be looking to ensure they have greater strength in depth at the back and may see Ferrari as a cheap addition.
Fiorentina were also believed to be keeping an eye on the former Parma man, but they have more pressing targets.
