Michele Ferri (born 28 May 1981) is an Italian association football defender who currently plays for Italian club Pro Vercelli.

Career

He grew up within the A.C. Milan youth system, but never played a full senior game for the rossoneri, instead being sent on loan to several lower league teams, namely Cesena and Triestina. Ferri was sold to Triestina in co-ownership deal for 400 million lire (€206,583) in June 2002 along with Eder Baù (200 million lire) and Alessandro Budel (400 million lire).[1] In 2003 he was acquired by Serie B club Palermo, who then became league champions in 2004. Palermo acquired him for undisclosed fee and Triestina acquired the remain half of the contract from Milan in June 2003 for €2 million.[1] But after Palermo won promotion, he first team appearances limited to 15 games before joined Cagliari on 31 January 2006 for €1 million in another co-ownership deal.[2][3] Ferri made his Serie A debut on 6 January 2005 for Palermo, against Reggina Calcio. In June 2007 Cagliari bought another half for €600,000.[4][5]

He joined Sampdoria in January 2009 for a peppercorn of €1,000.[6][7] He just played twice in 2008–09 Serie A season for Cagliari in September against A.C. Siena and November against Calcio Catania before joined Sampdoria. He successively left the club on a free transfer, and joined Serie B outfit Vicenza later on September 2009.[8]

In November 2010, Ferri joined Atalanta in another free transfer.

On 31 January 2014, Ferri joined Serie B side Trapani, signing a deal until the end of the 2013-14 season.[9]
