Today is the first training session, Parma starts again: one goal, to keep Serie A. Here’s how

Primarily Emanuel Valerinow it seems the moment of the international arrival: Parma is close to closing for Zion Suzukia 2002-born goalkeeper born in Arkansas (United States), but of Japanese nationality and currently playing for Sint-Truiden. An investment in perspective, given that the young 2002-born goalkeeper has excellent room for improvement and, after two positive seasons in Belgium, is ready for the big leap. Parma would like to close in the next few hours, arriving at an offer of between 6 and 7 million.

The ducal market has only just begun, however, and if Krause confirms the trend seen since his arrival, he promises twists and surprises like the exotic Japanese Suzuki, given that as the sporting director Pederzoli loves to repeat “our goal is to find the right player, at the right price. We don’t care what passport he has in his pocket”. A fact amply demonstrated by a multi-ethnic and extremely varied squad in terms of nationalities. Getting down to business, the objectives are a centre-back of a certain calibre, a midfielder capable of increasing Pecchia’s choices in the middle and a striker who can provide cover for Bonny. Net of any departures, which would clearly require other arrivals to fill the gaps. We will certainly start again with the quality of BernabĂ© and the accelerations of Man, fresh from elimination from the European Championship and ready to sign the renewal.

Yesterday morning, the dukes completed their pre-season medical checks, while in the afternoon work continued in Collecchio, with the Performance and Analytics Area measuring the physical performance of the crusaders through a series of dedicated tests. Today, however, they finally take to the field. The players will return to the fields of the Mutti Training Center in Collecchio, with the first session of the new season scheduled for 10:00.
