Parma have officially completed the signing of Croatian forward Matija Frigan from Belgian side Westerlo. The 21 year old striker makes the switch to Italy after a strong spell in Belgium where he impressed with his goal scoring instinct and physical presence up front. The deal is reported to be worth around €6 million, a fee that highlights Parma’s belief in his potential to grow into a key figure for the club.
Rising Reputation In European Football
Matija Frigan has built a reputation as one of Croatia’s most exciting young forwards. Having come through the ranks at Rijeka before moving to Westerlo, he quickly adapted to Belgian football and showcased his ability to score against top defences. His performances have not only drawn attention in Belgium but also across Europe, with several clubs monitoring his progress. Parma acted decisively to secure his services before other sides could make a move.
Parma Strengthening Squad For Serie A
Parma’s return to Serie A has brought a clear strategy to strengthen their squad with both experienced names and promising youngsters. Adding Frigan is part of that plan, as the club looks to combine youthful energy with established quality. With the new season approaching, Parma’s sporting directors and coach have been active in the market to ensure the team has enough depth and attacking options to handle the challenges of Italy’s top flight.
What Matija Frigan Brings To Parma
Standing tall and strong, Frigan is known for his aerial ability and sharp finishing inside the box. He also works tirelessly off the ball, pressing defenders and opening spaces for teammates. At just 21 years old, he still has room to grow, and Parma see him as both an option for the present and an investment for the future. Supporters will be eager to watch how quickly he adapts to Serie A and whether he can replicate his scoring form from Belgium.
