Massimo Zanetti, one of the names linked with taking over Parma, says he is not interested in buying the club.
The Ducali are bankrupt and relegated, and must find a buyer to pay their sporting debts before the end of June if they are to be granted entry to Serie B for next season.
An auction this week attracted no bidders, with two further auctions planned over the next few weeks.

Zanetti, founder of the Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group, which owns brands such as Segafredo, has been linked with taking over the club in the past.
However, the coffee magate has today categorically denied any interest.
“Massimo Zanetti asserts that everything written in relation to his alleged interest in Parma is completely unfounded,” a statement announced.
“Therefore, it [the interest] is firmly denied.”
