MIAMI – Benjamin Cremaschi is set for the next challenge of his young career, as the 20-year-old U.S. forward eyes his Italian Serie A debut with Parma Calcio 1913.
Cremaschi was signed by Parma on September 2, on loan through June 2026, from MLS side Inter Miami CF.
During his time with Inter Miami, Cremaschi contributed eight goals and nine assists in 107 appearances across all competitions – including eight appearances in the Concacaf Champions Cup.
A Miami native, Cremaschi joined Inter Miami’s Academy in 2021 and quickly rose through the ranks to a first-team contract in 2022. He went on to help his hometown club to its first two major trophies, the Leagues Cup 2023 and 2024 MLS Supporters' Shield.
The arrival of FIFA World Cup champion Lionel Messi only helped to heighten the spotlight on Cremaschi and provide the young American, with Argentinian roots, the opportunity of a lifetime to learn from one of the best players in the history of the game.
Cremaschi’s rise led him to his U.S. men’s senior national team debut in 2023, and subsequently to the Summer Olympics as part of Team USA’s squad at Paris 2024.
It was that experience at the international level that awarded Cremaschi with the captain’s armband for Marko Mitrović’s U.S. squad at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Chile 2025.
Before reporting to his new club, Cremaschi had a record-setting campaign at the U-20 World Cup during the past month. He won the tournament’s Golden Boot with five goals, becoming the top scorer in Concacaf history at the tournament.
Now Cremaschi is trading the pink and black of Inter Miami for the yellow and blue of Parma — joining fellow American stars Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Yunus Musah in the Italian top tier.
