:Jonathan Biabiany

Biabiany, of Guadeloupean descent, began his career with a local club in Le Blanc-Mesnil (in the northeastern suburbs of Paris) and was signed by Italian club Inter Milan in July 2004, initially as Jonathan Begora.[http://www.blancmesnil.fr/article/1/270/l-inter-de-milan-pour-jonathan L’Inter de Milan pour Jonathan] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302101906/http://www.blancmesnil.fr/article/1/270/l-inter-de-milan-pour-jonathan |date=2 March 2009 }}{{cite news|url=http://www.inter.it/en/news/14563|title=Another Young Player Signs for Inter|date=6 July 2004|access-date=28 November 2009|publisher=inter.it|archive-date=1 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201215933/http://www.inter.it/en/news/14563|url-status=dead}}

Biabiany, along with Sebastián Ribas, made his senior debut for Inter against Empoli in the Coppa Italia in January 2007.{{cite news|url=http://www.inter.it/en/news/25256|title=Inter Safely Through to Cup Semis|date=17 January 2007|access-date=28 November 2009|publisher=inter.it|archive-date=29 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029201900/http://www.inter.it/en/news/25256|url-status=dead}} It was his only appearance that season.

In August 2007, he was loaned to ChievoVerona,{{cite news|url=http://www.inter.it/en/news/26993|title=Biabiany moves on loan to Chievo|date=13 August 2007|access-date=28 November 2009|publisher=inter.it|archive-date=1 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201215930/http://www.inter.it/en/news/26993|url-status=dead}} but failed to play a first-team game. Instead, he played with the club's youth team, and by January 2008, he had made the Chievo bench just two times, not being used on either occasion.

Biabiany was then loaned to Modena in January 2008,{{cite news|url=http://www.inter.it/en/news/28543|title=Academy: players in and out|date=31 January 2008|access-date=28 November 2009|publisher=inter.it|archive-date=1 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201215820/http://www.inter.it/en/news/28543|url-status=dead}} where his loan was extended to a further season in July 2008. He became an immediate starter at Modena and made 15 appearances in the second half of the 2007–08 season, scoring his first goal at a professional level against Ascoli in Round 41 of the Serie B. The next season, he had an explosion of form at Modena, managing eight goals and eight assists in 40 appearances.

In July 2009, Biabiany 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,{{cite news|url= https://www.uefa.com/under21/news/0257-0de9988949a9-ec8d0a279b57-1000--france-hit-top-gear/ |title=France hit top gear|date=9 October 2009|access-date = 21 September 2013 |publisher=UEFA}} he did not play again for Parma due to minor injuries{{cite news|url=http://www.fcparma.com/stagione/archivio-news/5726-notiziario-del-26-novembredomani-appuntamento-con-mirante.html |title=Domani appuntamento con Mirante |date=26 November 2009 |access-date=28 November 2009 |publisher=Parma FC |language=it |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102150229/http://fcparma.com/stagione/archivio-news/5726-notiziario-del-26-novembredomani-appuntamento-con-mirante.html |archive-date= 2 January 2010 }} 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.{{cite news|url=http://www.inter.it/en/news/33181|title=Mariga signs for Inter|date=1 February 2010|access-date=1 February 2010|publisher=inter.it|archive-date=21 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140321182750/http://www.inter.it/en/news/33181|url-status=dead}} 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.

In June 2010, Inter bought Biabiany and Mariga outright for €4.2 million each. The deal effectively made Inter pay €10.9 million in cash and the special loan of Biabiany to Parma for the signing of Mariga.{{cite news|url=http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it/2010/giugno/17/Ufficiale_Inter_riscattato_Mariga_Biabiany_ga_10_100617034.shtml|title=Ufficiale: l' Inter ha riscattato Mariga e Biabiany per 10 milioni|date=17 June 2010|access-date=30 June 2010|work=La Gazzetta dello Sport|language=it}}{{cite news|url=http://www.fcparma.com/stagione/archivio-primo-piano/6995-leonardi-bojinov-a-titolo-definitivo.html |title=Leonardi: Bojinov a Titolo Definitivo |date=16 June 2010 |access-date=30 June 2010 |publisher=Parma F.C. |language=it |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101007135206/http://fcparma.com/stagione/archivio-primo-piano/6995-leonardi-bojinov-a-titolo-definitivo.html |archive-date=7 October 2010 }}

On 18 December 2010, he scored his first goal for Inter, against TP Mazembe in the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup Final, following an assist by Dejan Stanković. He registered three assists in one game, when the nerazzurri beat his old side Parma 5–2 in Round 14.

On 28 January 2011, it was confirmed that Biabiany would move to Sampdoria as part of the deal that took Giampaolo Pazzini to Inter for €19 million.{{cite news |url=http://www.inter.it/en/news/35679 |title=Welcome to Inter, Giampaolo Pazzini! |date=28 January 2011 |access-date=28 January 2011 |work=inter.it |archive-date=25 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130925145715/http://www.inter.it/en/news/35679 |url-status=dead }} Biabiany was valued at €7 million at that time, thus only €12 million cash was involved.Relazione sulla Gestione of UC Sampdoria Report and Accounts on 31 December 2010 Biabiany struggled in his time at Sampdoria as they were relegated, managing one goal and three assists in 16 appearances.

Biabiany has represented France at under-21 level, making 4 competitive appearances in team's successful 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying campaign.[https://web.archive.org/web/20100719013231/http://www.uefa.com/teamsandplayers/players/player=106586/profile/index.html Jonathan Biabiany – UEFA.com] Retrieved 30 December 2016

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".{{cite web | url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2014/09/18/5115065/biabianys-ac-milan-move-collapsed-over-irregular-heartbeat?ICID=PP_14399 | title=Biabiany's AC Milan move collapsed over irregular heartbeat | publisher=Goal | date=18 September 2014 | access-date=13 October 2014 | author=Doyle, Mark}}
