Parma is interested in signing Rui Patrício, reveals the portal 'Calciomercato.com'. The former Sporting goalkeeper has been without a club since last summer and, so far, there have been few opportunities for the Portuguese international to return to action.

Through his social media, the footballer who was crowned European champion with Portugal in 2016, recently shared a video showing his skills in another sport while he waits to embrace a new sporting project in his career, currently being free to sign for any club at zero cost.

The goalkeeper last played in the Club World Cup, where he made only two appearances for Al Ain of the United Arab Emirates, in the defeat against Juventus (5-0) and the victory over the Moroccans of Casablanca (2-1), after having spent the previous season in Serie A with Atalanta.

Trained at Sporting, the experienced 37-year-old goalkeeper represented the Lions until 2018. After that, he played successively in England and Italy, before his brief appearance in the club world competition held during June and July.

The former 'number 1' of the Lions terminated his contract with Sporting after the invasion of the Academy and ended up signing for Wolverhampton, where he spent three seasons (2018/2019, 2019/2020, and 2020/2021), until moving to Roma in 2021/22 (Recall his journey HERE.)
