Parma, 30 August 2024 – Parma Calcio is pleased to announce the signing of Rachid Kouda from Spezia Calcio on a permanent deal.

Born in Cantù, Italy, in 2002, Rachid has been involved in the Italy U21 setup – he was part of the squad for the Maurice Revello Tournament – and scored twice and provided two assists in Serie B last season. A modern midfielder with excellent attacking qualities, he developed at Folgore Caratese before making the step up to Lega Pro and then moving to his current club. Parma Calcio has loaned him back to Spezia Calcio, for whom he will play in Serie B this campaign.

The deal also sees Antonio Čolak move to Spezia Calcio on a permanent deal. Our Club wishes Antonio and his new club all the best for the 2024/25 season.
