Inter Miami academy graduate Benjamin Cremaschi has made a permanent move to Parma.
Cremaschi, who spent the 2025-26 season with the Italian side, has become the first Miami academy product to secure a transfer to one of Europe’s top five leagues in MLS history.
The 21-year-old signed his first contract with Miami’s senior team in 2023 and helped them to win both the 2023 Leagues Cup and the 2024 Supporters’ Shield.
Overall, Cremaschi scored eight goals and registered nine assists in 107 appearances for Miami across all competitions.
“Seeing a player who grew up in our academy, debuted with the first team, and is now making the leap to European football is a source of immense pride for everyone at Inter Miami,” sporting director Alberto Marrero said.

“There is no greater satisfaction for a club, and this is the model we want to solidify.
“Benja demonstrates that talent, coupled with a solid development process and real opportunities with the first team, can lead our players to compete in the best leagues in the world.”
However, Cremaschi expressed dissatisfaction with his playing time under Javier Mascherano in August 2025, which led to his season-long loan to Parma.
That deal included an option to buy, which Parma have triggered, with the United States international signing a five-year deal with the Serie A side.
Last term, he made nine appearances in all competitions, but is still awaiting his first goal.
