According to the latest Simon Sohm transfer news, the Swiss star will be moved on from Parma so the Crusaders can pursue their ‘dream’ target.
Sohm has been a regular at the Ennio Tardini since joining from Zurich in 2020. That despite his initial struggles settling in to the club owing to the language barrier and COVID-19 restrictions.
Newly-appointed head coach Carlos Cuesta only has limited funds to spend on new players. Even though Ange-Yoan Bonny joined Inter and there is a strong possibility Zion Suzuki and Giovanni Leoni will be sold.
The latter are being widely tipped for big-money moves this summer. However, Cuesta is desperate for them to stay in Emilia-Romagna as he aims to build a fierce roster under the stewardship of American president Kyle Krause.
With that in mind, it leaves Sohm’s long-term future in doubt. He is viewed by the club’s hierarchy as a sell-able asset this summer.
Simon Sohm Transfer News
The best Ethereum betting sites all expect Parma to battle relegation once again in the 2025-26 Serie A season. Nonetheless, the Crusaders cause may be helped if Simon Sohm moves on.
Last week, Fiorentina declared their interest and were quoted a fee of €15million. Moving Sohm on would allow for vital funds to be spent elsewhere.
The Serie A sides are still reportedly in negotiations for the defensive midfielder. As prominent as Sohm has been for the Emilians, his departure won’t be as hard felt as other key members of the roster.
Why Must Simon Sohm Be Sold?
The main factor behind the idea of selling Simon Sohm is naturally to raise funds. The potential €15m that Parma could acquire would go a long way in helping them rebuild.
Fellow central midfielder Christian Ordonez has already been drafted into the roster this summer. Fabio Vieira has also been tipped to make either a permanent or loan move.
Sohm would likely find his minutes dwindling with expected growing competition in the middle of the pitch. Therefore, it makes perfect sense for Carlos Cuesta to cash in while he can.
Who Do Parma Want To Replace Ange-Yoan Bonny?
With USMNT star Gio Reyna close to joining Parma, the real target to replace Ange-Yoan Bonny is Millwall sharpshooter Mihailo Ivanovic.
The Serbian international has earned favorable reviews after his exploits for the second tier English club in 2024-25. Ivanovic went on to net 13 goals in what was his maiden season in London.
The Lions quoted the Crusaders €16m for Ivanovic earlier this month. Therefore, selling Simon Sohm will effectively cover the price required for Ivanovic.
