Sascha Britschgi

Key strength: Pace and recovery

Overlapping full-back

At just 19 years old, Swiss right-back Sascha Britschgi represents both the promise and patience required of young professionals at Parma Calcio 1913. Valued at €7m—a significant figure for a teenager yet to make his senior breakthrough—Britschgi embodies the investment in youth that defines the club's long-term vision. With Parma sitting 12th in the table and navigating an inconsistent run of form (WLLD in their last four), first-team opportunities have been limited for the Swiss defender, who is still awaiting his debut this season. A solitary yellow card suggests glimpses of involvement, perhaps from the bench or cup competitions, but the full 90 minutes remain elusive. With teammates like Zion Suzuki between the sticks and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia in midfield, Britschgi is surrounded by a core of young talent finding their way. His well-rounded attributes across pace, passing, and defending hint at a modern full-back ready to emerge. For now, it's about biding his time, learning the rhythms of Italian football, and waiting for the moment when the opportunity arrives.
