Tuttomercato reported that Italian striker Patrick Cutrone, aged 27, is being targeted by Parma as a replacement for the injured Matija Frigan. Frigan suffered a cruciate ligament rupture shortly after being acquired on August 14. Parma is considering Cutrone as one of their targets, alongside Andrea Belotti and Alberto Cerri, to substitute the injured Frigan. Sky Sport confirmed that the move would be on loan, with Parma concentrating on acquiring experienced players who are familiar with Serie A. Cutrone, who has a contract until 2028, has played for clubs such as Milan, Fiorentina, Empoli, Wolverhampton, Valencia, and the Italian national team. Transfermarkt estimates the forward's current market value to be €6.00m, and he has also attracted interest from Napoli.
