The muscular central defender, who can also play as a right-back, turns 29 in September and has been at Lecce since 2022.
This would represent a return for him, as he started his career in the Cremonese youth academy, playing for the senior squad until his free transfer to Viterbese in 2019.
The cost of the operation is believed to be around €3m for a player with 112 Serie A appearances under his belt, scoring five goals and providing two assists.
It is expected to be a loan with obligation to buy in case of Serie A safety for €3.5m.
The 26-year-old spent the last six months on loan at Venezia, having previously played with Monza, Frosinone, Pro Vercelli, Cesena and Viterbese.
