S. Bettarini rented out to "Parma" © EuroFootball.com

Last year, once representing the Italian national team, the left-back defender was loaned to a team and will play there at least until the end of the season. 32-year-old Bettarini was suspended for five months in August 2004 after being involved in a scandal of suspicions of some players and clubs arranging match-fixing. During his career, S.Bettarini played for the teams of "Cagliari," "Fiorentina," "Bologna," and "Venezia." His new club, "Parma," is currently third from the bottom in the Italian championship, having collected only 19 points in 20 matches. Meanwhile, at the start of the last week of the transfer window, Italian clubs became active in making new deals. They sold E.Farias to "River Plate" and bought D.Possanzini in his place, getting rid of unwanted players - L.Sartoras moved to the "Genoa" club, the leader of "Serie B," and M.Delvecchio is preparing to move to a team, which is currently also trying to sign Cameroonian Pierre Wome.
