Ferrari would cost around €12-13 million, but for now, Lazio are closely following former Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng, who is available to sign on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old Ferrari made 34 appearances across all competitions this season for Sassuolo, for a total of 3014 minutes. In that time, he provided five assists and made an average of 2.09 blocks per 90 minutes.
