Parma have successfully completed the signing of Matteo Cancellieri from Lazio, finalising the transfer after resolving the last remaining details. This acquisition marks an exciting addition to Parma’s squad as they look to strengthen their attacking options for the upcoming season.
Cancellieri, a promising 22-year-old forward, returns to Parma after spending the previous season on loan at Empoli, where he showcased his potential with four goals and three assists in 36 appearances. His performances have caught the attention of several clubs, but Parma has managed to secure his services, demonstrating their commitment to building a competitive team.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the agreement with Lazio involves a loan deal with an option to buy, allowing Parma to evaluate Cancellieri’s impact before making a permanent commitment. The player is set to arrive in the city on Tuesday, August 13, to undergo medical examinations and complete the necessary paperwork.
This move is part of Parma’s broader strategy to reinforce their squad, following the recent addition of Pontus Almqvist. With Cancellieri’s arrival, Parma aims to enhance their offensive capabilities and make a strong push in the league.
