Captain and talisman Papu Gomez's rift with manager Gasperini cast a shadow a few weeks ago. The Argentine now looks set to leave in January, with Inter Milan and AC Milan among the clubs interested.Parma, on the other hand, have struggled and have lost their last three Serie A games. They sit 16th in the league table, and are only ahead of 18th-placed Spezia by a point.
