Leonardi welcomes Parma double signing

Parma chief Pietro Leonardi is pleased with their early market business.

Parma signed two players on Friday, securing Jonathan Biabiany and Ishak Belfodil outright.

"Parma proved this is a solid club that wants to invest. It isn't a port of call. We only want motivated people who are happy to be here and play with pride. Anyone else can go..."

Leonardi was asked whether this was a message to Antonio Cassano, who has been linked with a return to Sampdoria.

"Yesterday he sent me a text message that said: 'Forza Parma.' And we say Forza Cassano."
