Lucarelli to Parma?

Shakhtar Donetsk striker Cristiano Lucarelli is reportedly moving closer to a move back to his homeland as Parma have made an offer to the Ukrainians to end his six-month stint in Eastern Europe.

The Italian international striker has reached an agreement with the Crociati in the last few days, and on Sunday, was spotted in the city, supposedly having travelled in order to complete a medical and seal the deal.

Lucarelli has performed quite well for Shakhtar, but the lure of returning to Serie A could be too much for the striker who is edging closer to a £5 million return.
