Sporting CP have agreed a deal with their Italian counterparts, Parma FC, for striker Valeri Bojinov. The 25-year-old caught the eye of the club with is performances in Serie A, and Sporting have finally secured his services.
The forward was a highly-rated prospect at Lecce and proved his credentials by becoming the youngest foreigner to play and score in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926’s highest division. He parted ways with the Giallorossi after making 20 appearances and bagging 11 goals.
Bojinov then transferred to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luca-Toni-c22526, who managed to become the highest scorer in Serie A with Bojinov aiding his exploits.
But game time was hard to come by with the Gigliati and he was subsequently loaned to Juventus. He showed his class with the Turin outfit by netting 10 goals but was surprisingly not offered a permanent deal.
After his time with the Bianconeri, he was sold to Manchester City for a fee of £5.75 million in 2007. However his spell at the City of Manchester Stadium was marred by niggling injuries and he could not perform to the best of his abilities with the Blues
and later opted for a return to Italy with Parma in 2010.

The move has come at a great time for the Bulgarian International, as the Portuguese outfit are in the process of rebuilding their team. Bojinov will now join the Lisbon club alongside other signings which include the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricky-van-Wolfswinkel-c31131, Diego
Rubio and Andre Carrillo.
