According to CalcioMercato, Newcastle United are considering an approach for Sassuolo defender Gian Marco Ferrari in this summer’s transfer window.
Ferrari has a contract with Sassuolo until the end of the 2020-21 campaign, but he has not actually made a first-team appearance for his current club.
Indeed, the centre-back has spent the last two seasons on loan at Crotone and Sampdoria respectively, and he impressed for the latter during the 2017-18 campaign.
The 26-year-old scored twice in 31 appearances last term, and it is understood that his performances have attracted the interest of Newcastle.

That said, Fulham, who booked their spot in the Premier League by beating Aston Villa in the Championship playoff final last weekend, are also said to have an interest.
The Newcastle fans, who have also recently commented on Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino’s future, have been offering their views on the transfer speculation surrounding versatile defender Ferrari, and a selection of the Twitter reaction can be seen below:
