Fenerbahce and Mourinho in talks for Serie A defender – report
According to the report, preliminary discussions have already begun, and Mourinho is constantly in contact with the club’s management to advance negotiations.
If Fenerbahce complete the deal in January, Biraghi will reunite with his ex-Fiorentina teammate Sofyan Amrabat.
Biraghi is the Fiorentina captain but has lost his starting status since new Viola coach Raffaele Palladino switched to a four-man defence, promoting Robin Gosens to the starting left-back position.
Biraghi has made 12 appearances across all competitions this season, grabbing one goal and one assist.
He has played 314 games in Serie A, scoring 15 goals and providing 38 assists.
