Parma are interested in a move for out-of-contract Marseille striker Mario Balotelli, but the club cannot afford a deal for former Roma hero Daniele De Rossi, confirmed the club's sporting director Daniele Faggiano.
The Serie A club survived their first season back in the top flight of Italian football by three points and are preparing to strengthen their squad in the hopes of establishing themselves as mainstays in the division.
Former Manchester City and Milan forward Balotelli sees his deal with Ligue 1 outfit Marseille expire on June 30, leaving him as a free agent.
