Reports in the peninsula suggest that Roma defender Matteo Ferrari will sign a deal with Milan at the end of the season.

The 28-year-old stopper hasn’t regularly commanded a place in Luciano Spalletti’s side this term and is considering his options with his contract set to expire in June.

A story in Rome’s Il Tempo newspaper this morning states that Ferrari’s agent has been in early discussions with the Rossoneri over a possible free transfer switch.

It is believed that the Giallorossi have tabled an extension offer worth around £1m a year, but Milan are expected to blow that sum out of the water.

There are suggestions that the world champions would be willing to pay Ferrari £1.6m annually and provide the security of a four-year deal.

Ferrari has 11 Azzurri caps and has made 62 appearances for Roma since moving to the Eternal City in 2004, despite a loan spell at Everton.

I for one, am completely against this move. If he arrived he would maybe only be better than Simic. We should look for Barzagli if we are gonna buy a defender

But we know how Milan like their free transfers, so this is a possibility

Are we really talking about Panucci? He's 34 years old and will be 35 next season... in my view, we don't need a CB or a LB to replace Maldini. For the simple reason that it's not Maldini the player we will miss but Maldini the captain, the leader, the God... we need a new leader and that I think Kaka can be.

We're not going to splash big money on a defender this summer I believe. In my view, we should bring Darmian on, buy Zambrotta and Castellini and sell Favalli.
