That option will become an obligation if Lecce maintain their Serie A status going into the 2020-21 campaign.
Farias is Brazilian, but the 29-year-old spent his entire career in Italy with Chievo, Hellas Verona, Foggia, Nocerina, Padova, Sassuolo, Empoli and Cagliari.
He spent the last six months on loan at Empoli.
