Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic needs to sure-up the Granata defence, his side having conceded the sixth-highest number of goals in Serie A this term, despite their eighth placed position in the rankings.

Such a move will also provide extra manpower in the heart of the defence after Torino let 33-year-old Cesare Bovo join Pescara in recent days.
