Parma identities are urging Nice striker Mario Balotelli to join their Serie A campaign.

Alessandro Lucarelli and Luca Toni have both urged former AC Milan striker Balotelli to join the promoted giants.

“Parma would be the perfect place to think only about football," Lucarelli told Radio Bruno.

“I'd tell him to laugh and be loved. His quality is not up for discussion, his only limit is his attitude."

The Parma legend wasn't the only one to urge Super Mario to move to Emilia, with Toni also advising him to join.

“The Crociati would be a great choice for him," the former striker told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“It's calm there and there isn't too much pressure. Parma would have to build the team around him though, to get the most from their investment."
