Michele Ferri (born 28 May 1981) is an Italian former association football defender who last played for Italian club Varese.
He grew up within the A.C. Milan youth system, but never played a full senior game for the rossoneri, instead being sent to lower league teams, namely Cesena and Triestina.
Ferri was sold to Triestina in a co-ownership deal for 400 million lire (€206,583) along with Eder Baù (200 million lire) and Alessandro Budel (400 million lire) in June 2002. [2] On 11 June 2003 Triestina acquired the remain half of the contract from Milan for €2 million (with Budel returned to Milan also for €2 million fee). [3] [4] [5]
On 19 July 2003, Ferri was acquired by Serie B club Palermo for a fee of €1 million and a 5-year contract, [6] [7] which then became league champions in 2004.

On 31 January 2006 he was sold to Cagliari for €1 million fee, in another co-ownership deal. [8] [9] [10]
Ferri was signed by Cagliari on 31 January 2006, re-joining Budel. In June 2007 Cagliari bought the remaining half of the registration rights of Ferri, for an additional €600,000 fee. [11] [12] [13]
He joined Sampdoria in January 2009 for a peppercorn fee of €1,000. [14] [15] 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 in September 2009. [16]
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. [17] He successively left Trapani to join fellow Serie B club Pro Vercelli.
