New Parma president Rezart Taci has already sold the club after only taking over in December.

Several players have already departed the Ducali during the winter transfer window including Gabriel Palletta, Antonio Cassano and Felipe, and now the Albanian oil tycoon that bought out previous owner Tommaso Ghirardi has also gone.

Sky Sport Italia reports that Dastraso Holdings Limited has sold its majority stake in Parma to unknown new investors.

La Gazzetta dello Sport has since speculated that the new investors could be a Lombardy based industrial consortium with business interests in Russia.

The new owners are reported to be willing to invest a figure close to €50 million from now until the end of the season with the club having until February 15 to settle its debts to players and staff.

Should they fail to settle their debts ahead of the mid-February deadline, the side could go into administration.

Parma are rooted to the bottom of Serie A, and have failed to pay their players for several months.
