Alan Virginius, a 23-year-old French winger, was a candidate for departure from BSC Young Boys, a move intended to raise funds and reduce the squad size. The reported transfer fee varied depending on the source, with figures ranging from six to 15 million. A figure between ten and 15 million was cited and was considered to be too high. Recently, interest was shown by Serie A clubs Genoa and Lecce, who joined a list of interested parties that included HSV, Anderlecht, and Paderborn.
However, a transfer in the current window is now considered unlikely because an adductor injury sustained in a match against Sion is expected to keep Virginius out of play for approximately one month. The former France U21 international joined the Swiss club in July 2025 and has a contract that is valid until 2029. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €3.00m.
