This shirt is a special released shirt to celebrate the 105th anniversary of Parma’s team and it has a special “105” embroidered on chest. Biabiany joined Parma three times in his career. The first one was in July 2009, when the player was loaned to Parma, who had recently been promoted back to Serie A. He featured in the first team for the first few league matches. After international duty for France’s under-21 team, he did not play again for Parma due to minor injuries until late November. Notably, he scored both of Parma’s goals in a 2–2 draw with Genoa in Round 15, his first two Serie A goals. On 1 February 2010, Parma gained half the rights to Biabiany, as part of a deal that sent McDonald Mariga to Inter. Inter later revealed that Biabiany was valued €5 million at that time, thus it cost Parma €2.5 million for half of the rights. He ended the season with six goals and three assists in 30 appearances. The second one was On 24 June 2011 when Biabiany was signed to Parma on a loan deal with an option to purchase him outright from Sampdoria, a year after his departure from the Emilian club. He went on to feature in every Parma league game that season and the summer of 2012 saw him move to Parma in a co-ownership deal for €2.5 million on a three-year contract. On 2 February 2014, Biabiany extended his contract to 30 June 2018.[20] On 20 June 2014, Parma acquired Biabiany outright for another €1 million. After a strong 2013–14 season, Biabiany was set to move to Milan on the last day of the 2014 summer transfer window. After posing for a photo with the Milan scarf outside of the club headquarters, Biabiany failed his medical at what was set to become his new home with the Milan side’s medical staff uncovering a heart problem the player had. After extensive testing, doctors indicated that the Frenchman had an irregular heartbeat and would miss the first half of the season in order to have his condition treated. Biabiany returned to training in February 2015. On 11 April 2015, Biabiany terminated his contract with Parma by mutual consent. Parma was declared bankrupt in mid-season. And the third one was on 7 August 2018 when Biabiany signed a one-year contract with Parma in the first season of team’s return in Serie A.

On 18 September 2014, it was announced that Biabiany had been diagnosed with cardiac dysrhythmia, and would be out of competitive action for an indefinite period. His irregular heartbeat had been discovered on 1 September during a medical exam with the staff of Milan, where his acquisition from Parma had already been announced. Following his medical exam, another statement was issued announcing that the transfer had been called off; the initial reason given was that Milan defender Cristian Zaccardo could not agree to terms for his return to Parma, and therefore the deal had collapsed. The announcement of Biabiany’s condition by Parma CEO Pietro Leonardi seventeen days later revealed the true reason for the transfer’s cancellation. Leonardi stated that Biabiany had undergone further testing upon his return to Parma, after which “It was felt that the best thing to do at this time would be to take a break from competitive activity for a limited period of time, during which the player will be monitored and subjected to further investigation to establish the eventual return to action”.
