Ciro Immobile’s Paris FC transfer looks all but done after the Italian striker gave the nod to a permanent switch from Bologna, with just medical checks and final signatures standing in the way. The 36-year-old goal machine, who’s spent the last few months settling in at Bologna after a shock exit from Lazio, now sets his sights on a fresh chapter in France’s Ligue 2 with the ambitious Paris outfit.
Word came down late Friday from reliable insiders that Immobile wrapped up personal terms and shook on the deal. He’s expected to jet into Paris over the weekend for those all-important health tests before putting pen to paper on what sources call a straightforward permanent move.
No loan tricks here – Paris FC wants him locked in long-term to spearhead their push for promotion. Bologna, where he landed on a short stint back in summer 2025, won’t stand in the way once the fee gets sorted, likely around the €5-7 million mark based on early talks.
Immobile’s time in Italy has been a rollercoaster lately. After dominating at Lazio for years – think over 200 goals and captaining them to trophies – he shocked everyone by heading to Bologna on a one-year deal plus option. He netted a handful there, showing flashes of that old fire, but minutes stayed limited with younger guns pushing through.
Paris FC sees him as the veteran leader to guide their attack, blending his experience with their young squad hungry for Ligue 1 spots. Club president Pierre Ferracci has talked up big plans before, and landing a name like Immobile screams they’re serious about climbing the ladder.
“Grazie Ciro, forever blue,” one post reads as fans rally behind. Over in Paris, FC followers buzz with excitement – their timeline fills with edits of Immobile in red and blue kits scoring screamers at the Stade Charléty, and fans are eagerly waiting.
Remember his Besiktas spell in Turkey? He bagged goals there too before circling back home. Now, at 36, he brings that poacher’s instinct and work rate to a league where he can mentor kids while still leading the line.
Paris FC sits strong in Ligue 2, chasing automatic promotion, and his arrival could tip games their way. No word yet on contract length, but whispers point to two years with an option, keeping him sharp for Italy duty if called.
Bologna gets a tidy sum to reinvest, maybe scouting more youth like they’ve done well lately. Their boss, Vincenzo Italiano, praised Immobile’s pro attitude in recent interviews, saying he lifted the dressing room even off the bench.
For Paris FC, it’s a statement signing – not every Ligue 2 side lands a Euro 2020 winner with Immobile’s resume. He’s got over 300 career goals, including stints at Dortmund and Sevilla, proving he adapts wherever.
Social media lights up across Europe. French fans joke about confusing him with PSG stars across town, while Italians debate if Serie A loses too many vets. One viral tweet shows a map of his career path – Torre Annunziata birth, Lazio glory, now Parisian lights.
If medicals go smoothly – and at his age, fitness stays key – expect official pics soon. Immobile’s family joins the ride, with posts showing them packing for France. This transfer caps a busy window for both clubs – Bologna eyes replacements, and Paris FC adds more firepower.
Paris FC fans dream of Ligue 1 parades with him up front. Bologna waves goodbye, grateful. As pens hit paper, football’s endless churn keeps turning.
France offers a softer landing to wind down strong. Watch for his debut – that trademark celebration might echo in Paris soon enough. Transfers like this remind us age is just a number when hunger stays. Immobile packs bags, ready to prove doubters wrong again.
