Parma is interested in Ethan Meichtry, a 20-year-old Swiss-Cameroonian midfielder from Thun who has scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists in 28 Super League appearances this season. Interest from several clubs had already emerged in early December, with the most specific interest coming from Italy, before Parma made an official approach for the Swiss U21 international during the winter transfer window. However, Thun rejected all approaches for sporting reasons, as technical director Dominik Albrecht and the club's management decided to keep the squad intact to avoid disrupting a season in which the newly-promoted team has an opportunity to win the Super League title. The club's position is expected to change at the end of the season when offers are likely to arrive again. During his last contract renewal, Meichtry reportedly did not insist on having a release clause included, putting Thun in a strong negotiating position. The Bernese club's asking price is around 4 million Swiss francs, which is approximately 4.5 million euros. Meichtry, who has 5 caps and 1 goal for the Switzerland U21 team, joined Thun in July 2024 and has a contract until June 2030. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €2.00m.
