Parma, ongoing pursuit of Milan defender Conti

Parma is targeting Milan defender Andrea Conti, he is the gialloblu's first choice for their right wing back position. The player is open to the transfer as he looks to achieve more playing time. D'Aversa specifically requested Conti from the club, he has a strong relationship with the player dating back to their time together at Lanciano. On Thursday morning the sides moved closer to a deal based on a loan with forced option to buy.

There is competition from Fiorentina for Conti as the possible replacement for Pol Lirola who is in departure for Marseille. Fiorentina are looking for a loan with purchase option but the talks have hit a snag.
