Parma seals Benjamin Cremaschi deal from Inter Miami for €4M

Parma Calcio has made Benjamin Cremaschi’s move from Inter Miami permanent, paying €4 million plus add-ons to secure the young American midfielder on a long-term deal. The transaction converts what was initially a loan arrangement into a full transfer.

From loan to permanent move

Cremaschi’s loan from Inter Miami to Parma began on September 2, 2025, with a buy option baked into the agreement. That option has now been triggered, converting the temporary arrangement into a permanent transfer for a base fee of €4 million, with additional payments tied to performance-related add-ons.

The deal was first reported by Fabrizio Romano around June 1-2, 2026, and subsequently confirmed across both MLS and Italian media outlets.

During his loan spell, Cremaschi made nine appearances for Parma in the 2025-26 Serie A season. That number was limited by injuries, which prevented him from building the kind of sustained run in the starting lineup that both player and club would have wanted.

A rising talent with serious credentials

Cremaschi is not some unknown quantity plucked from MLS obscurity. The Key Biscayne, Florida native earned his senior USMNT debut back in 2023 when he was still a teenager.

His stock rose considerably at the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where he claimed the Golden Boot as the tournament’s top scorer.

What this means for Parma and the USMNT pipeline

The injury concerns are worth monitoring. Nine appearances across most of a season is a red flag regardless of context, and Parma will need Cremaschi available for significantly more matches to justify the investment.
