On 17 August 2012, Chibsah moved from Juventus to Parma in a co-ownership deal (swap with Francesco Anacoura) before being immediately loaned to Sassuolo,[3] where he was under contract prior to his move to Juventus in 2011[4] (having joined from Bechem United in March 2009).[5] Both 50% registration rights of Anacoura and Chibsah were tagged for €750,000.[6] Chibsah also received a call-up to Parma's pre-season camp on 14 July 2012.[7]
