Report: Hammers want Ferrari

Sassuolo defender Gian Marco Ferrari is wanted by both West Ham and Everton claim the Italian press. 

The Italian centre-back had a successful loan at Sampdoria last season in Serie A. 

Calciomercato.com say the player has a €13 million release clause, and there was plenty of talk in May that Napoli would snap him up, but it appears that Aurelio De Laurentiis doesn’t want to pay the full sum, with Sassuolo unwilling to play ball.

The 26-year-old is also liked by Spartak Moscow, Seville and Monaco, but his strong season in Genoa has earned him praise from all over – and a call-up to two summer International friendlies with Italy. 

It looks like Sampdoria themselves aren’t willing to pay the full price for the defender either. Ferrari earned a promotion to Serie A three seasons ago with Crotone.
