Matteo Ferrari’s short-lived experience with Roma has come to a bitter end after his agent announced an imminent switch to Everton.

“Matteo did not train with the squad on Tuesday and the time has come to sign with Everton,” Giovanni Corci told Radio Incontro this evening. “It will be a loan move with the option to buy at the end of the season for an agreed sum of around £3.7m.”

The Italian international has never really settled in at the Stadio Olimpico and was often singled out by fans following his mistakes over the last season.

25-year-old defender Ferrari joined Roma from Parma in the summer of 2004, but for some time his future at the club has been in serious doubt and the arrival of Sami Kuffour has pushed him further on to the sidelines.

“The negotiations with Everton were run by a bunch of amateurs,” snapped Ferrari’s agent in a final sideswipe at the Giallorossi directors.

The former Inter man has not been able to replicate the form that made him a key figure of the Under-21 international scene, nonetheless managing 10 caps with the senior Azzurri squad.

It's a bit of a shame really because although he had a terrible first season with Roma he obviously had the potential to be a great player from his days with Parma. Hopefully he can regain that form in England now.
