Serie A strugglers Bologna have bolstered their squad with the signing of former Lazio and Internazionale midfielder Cesar Aparecido.

The 34-year-old Brazilian is a free agent after leaving Inter at the end of last season and becomes the first signing made by new Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.

A statement on the club's official website read: "Bologna FC 1909 would like to communicate that we have reached an agreement to sign Brazilian winger Cesar.

"Cesar played for Inter last season and he was at Livorno and Corinthians before that on loan."

Cesar first moved to Italy in the summer of 2001 to join Lazio, heading to Inter five years later.

The player himself said after signing up with Bologna: "I want to thank the club for giving me this opportunity.

"I feel good physically and I am ready to give everything in the battle for salvation. I will now be trying to show my ability and to score goals."
