With Andrea Barzagli and Cristian Zaccardo, VfL Wolfsburg once had two very prominent Italian defenders in their squad. Now another Italian could continue the tradition. The wolves are apparently currently courting Fabiano Parisi.
With Paulo Otávio, Wolfsburg currently have a very solid left-back. Backup Jérôme Roussillon, on the other hand, should ideally leave the club in winter. Empoli left-back Fabiano Parisi could possibly fill the vacant squad position. According to Di Marzio, VfL are interested in the 22-year-old Italian but have not yet made an official offer.
In the past first half of the season, Parisi has proven himself with strong performances in the current table 13. in Serie A and even celebrated his debut in the Italian national team. The left-back still has a contract until 2025, which is why a commitment (TM market value eight million euros) would not be very cheap. Whether Wolfsburg are serious about Parisi may also depend on Otávio’s long-term future. He has not yet extended his contract, which expires in 2023. But it would also be conceivable to contest the future with Otávio and Parisi in the squad.
