Parma have signed centre-back Felipe from Fiorentina on a four-year contract.

Felipe has spent the whole of his professional career in Italy, having started with Udinese and then moved to Fiorentina in 2010.

He has had spells out on loan at Cesena and Siena over the past few years, and has now clinched a permanent switch to Parma.

The 28-year-old will link up with his new team-mates at their pre-season training camp in Ostuni on Monday.

He will be hoping to help Parma push on from last season after they finished 10th in Serie A.
