Parma, 10 January 2025 - Parma Calcio are happy to announce the signing of Richard Marcone from Società Sportiva Turris Calcio.

The goalkeeper has had a long career in the professional Italian leagues: after starting in Siena's youth academy, he made his debut in Serie C with Suditrol in 2012, continuing with clubs in Serie A (Hellas Verona), Serie B (Trapani, Vicenza and Pro Vercelli) and Serie C (Ternana), before moving to Società Sportiva Turris Calcio, where he has made 20 appearances this season. During these 12 years, Richard has shown his professional and personal qualities, distinguishing himself throughout his football career.

Statement from Richard Marcone: 'I am aware of the role I will play in this new adventure, for me it is still a great opportunity and a huge sense of satisfaction to be able to represent a side as great as Parma. It's an even bigger honour to play for the side of my idol, Gigi Buffon. I would like to thank the Club and technical staff for believing in my qualities, not just in a footballing sense but also off the pitch. I am ready to be there for my teammates and all gialloblù fans. Forza Parma!'.

Statement from Sporting Director Mauro Pederzoli: 'Richard is coming to be part of the Parma Calcio family and we are happy about this, because he's a serious, experienced and trustworthy football, who also has the human trains that we were looking for to complete our team of goalkeepers. He will be beside Zion and Edo, everyday, to form a competitive group'.
