The lifting of the transfer embargo for Roma is likely to result in Everton, returning to the Italian capital, to tie up their bid for Roma defender Matteo Ferrari.

Ferrari was close to joining Everton a month or so ago, but all moves were put on hold while Roma appealed their transfer ban, with that appeal now successful, they will look to unload several players with Ferrari being one of the first out of the door.

It is expected to be a loan deal at first, with a view to a permanent transfer at the end of the season.
