Striker Cassano joins Parma from Inter

A statement on Parma's website said 30-year-old Cassano had joined for an undisclosed fee, while widespread media reports said he had signed a three-year deal.

"All the details of the operation that brought him here will be laid out tomorrow, Thursday July 4, at his presentation at the Tardini stadium," the club said.

The player's agent, Giuseppe Bozzo, said on Tuesday that Parma president Tommaso Ghirardi had already defined the signing as "the biggest of my time in charge of the Gialloblu (yellow and blue)".
