Varela had his season-long loan terminated by West Bromwich Albion earlier today, but he has already been snapped up by the Serie A strugglers.
The Gialloblu have also brought in Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodriguez on a similar six-month loan deal.
Parma are currently bottom of the Serie A table, having picked up just nine points from 19 games.
