Faustino Anjorin runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market30 Aug 2027

Alessandro Celli puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Empoli, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market30 Aug 2027

Empoli say no — this time

The offer from Foggia for Edoardo Saporiti was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Empoli

Lucas Ocampos was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market30 Aug 2027

St. Gallen join the queue for Ismaël Konaté

Add another name to the list: St. Gallen have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Ismaël Konaté. The answer from Empoli has not changed — yet.

Market30 Aug 2027

A long bet from Empoli on Elia Plicco

He is 20, and nobody at Empoli signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Player ratings30 Aug 2027

Lucas Ocampos in the eights

A performance of 8.65 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Stiven Shpendi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match28 Aug 2027

Honours even between Empoli and Palermo

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Boardroom30 Aug 2027

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Parma

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market30 Aug 2027

Adrian Benedyczak puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Parma, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market30 Aug 2027

Elia Plicco moves on

Empoli pay $2.3M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Adrián Bernabé signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Adrián Bernabé and Parma agree another 4 years.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Parma

Zion Suzuki was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market30 Aug 2027

Business is business: Filippo Alinovi goes

Pergolettese paid $340.0K and Parma took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Parma lose Davide Balduzzi

119 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Home is on Adrian Benedyczak's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Parma are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Player ratings30 Aug 2027

One of those days for Antoine Joujou

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.24, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match4 Nov 2026

Parma bow out of the cup

Ternana go through and Parma go home, 1‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Jacob Ondrejka

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market9 Nov 2026

Christian Ordoñez asks to leave Parma

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A one-man rearguard from Edoardo Corvi

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market9 Nov 2026

Enrico Delprato raises the bar for Parma

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Parma heard it as anything else.

Match7 Nov 2026

4 matches without a win for Parma

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Parma are no longer polite ones.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Parma

Adrián Bernabé was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match7 Nov 2026

Mateo Pellegrino’s goal not enough for Parma

Mateo Pellegrino scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Atalanta, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Mariano Troilo in the eights

A performance of 8.34 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
