After Antonio Cassano terminated his contract by mutual consent, Alessandro Lucarelli confirms more Parma players could follow.

The club has until February 16 to pay six months of outstanding wages and technically the players could already take legal action.

Cassano did precisely that on Friday and this evening the club announced it had terminated its contract with the striker by mutual consent.

After Antonio Cassano terminated his contract by mutual consent, Alessandro Lucarelli confirms more Parma players could follow.

The club has until February 16 to pay six months of outstanding wages and technically the players could already take legal action.

Cassano did precisely that on Friday and this evening the club announced it had terminated its contract with the striker by mutual consent.

He had been contracted with the Tardini side until June 2016 and the 32-year-old is now a free agent able to join any club he chooses.

“There was this meeting with the players’ union to explain how things are going,” captain Lucarelli told TV Parma.

“No decision has been made yet. There was an exchange of views: first of all we just wanted to understand the situation and eventually see how we’d be protected if the worst came to the worst.

“I repeat, no decision has been made, but just a debate to see what can be done by the union if we should by some misfortune need their help.”

Parma were in dire financial straits when sold to a Russian-Cypriot-Albanian conglomerate in December.

They were docked one point in the current Serie A season due to unpaid wages and taxes.
