Cristiano Biraghi Transfer from Fiorentina to Bologna

Cristiano Biraghi was previously in talks with Bologna, contingent on Charalampos Lykogiannis leaving the club. However, Lykogiannis's strong performances have cooled Bologna's interest in acquiring Biraghi.

Cristiano Biraghi, the former captain, reportedly has a basic agreement with Bologna, but an offer is still needed to finalize the transfer.

Cristiano Biraghi's potential move to Bologna is contingent on the departure of Charalampos Lykogiannis from Bologna. Biraghi would need to accept a significant reduction in his salary from 1.7 million EUR per season to join Bologna.

Cristiano Biraghi is a potential solution for Bologna if Charalampos Lykogiannis leaves. The Bologna coach, Vincenzo Italiano, knows Biraghi well from his time at Fiorentina. Biraghi attended the recent match against Torino with the Bologna management. His contract expires in June, with an option that will not be activated. Discussions are ongoing to find a solution that suits Biraghi, according to Fiorentina's official, Alessandro Ferrari.

Bologna is working hard to find solutions to sign Cristiano Biraghi, who has already shown willingness to talk with the club. However, there are challenges as Biraghi's current salary at Fiorentina is two million euros, which Bologna considers too high. Biraghi is also liked by Napoli and will definitely leave Fiorentina.

Vincenzo Italiano, who spent three seasons coaching Biraghi at Fiorentina, has expressed his desire to bring him to Bologna for the latter part of the championship. Bologna plans to make a decisive move only after Lykogiannis departs, a development anticipated in the coming weeks. Biraghi's tenure at Fiorentina appears to have concluded, as he has not been selected by coach Raffaele Palladino for several weeks, following a mutual decision between them. With his contract due to expire on June 30, 2025, Biraghi is expected to transfer to a new team during the January transfer window.
