Career edit
Paris Saint-Germain edit
An academy graduate of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Fadiga signed his first professional contract on 29 January 2019.[2] He made his professional debut on 16 September 2020 in a 1–0 Ligue 1 win against Metz.[3] "I feel a lot of pride, it was difficult to come on in such a match. I cannot ask for more than a win at the Parc for my first game," he said to PSG TV after the match.[4] Fadiga would go on to make five more appearances in the first half of the 2020–21 season for PSG.[1]
Loan to Brest edit
On 1 February 2021, Fadiga joined Ligue 1 side Brest on loan until the end of the season, with the deal containing a purchase option.[5] He made his debut for the club in a 2–1 Coupe de France win over Rodez on 10 February.[6] On 6 March, Fadiga started in a 3–0 home Coupe de France defeat to his parent club PSG.[7] At the 9th minute of the match, he was punished by Marco Verratti, who stole the ball from him and provided the assist for Kylian Mbappé's opening goal.[8] In the second half of the match, Fadiga tested PSG goalkeeper Sergio Rico with several attempts, but did not manage to score.[9] At the end of the season, Fadiga returned to the capital from his loan in Brittany, having made a total of six appearances.[10]
Olympiacos edit
On 14 January 2022, Fadiga signed for Super League Greece side Olympiacos on a contract until 2026.[11] He made his debut as a substitute in a 3–1 league win over Panetolikos on 2 February.[1] One week later, he made his first start for Olympiacos in a 3–1 Greek Cup quarter-final win over the same opponents. At the third minute of the match, Fadiga fired a ball onto the crossbar; he scored three minutes later after stealing the ball from opponent Johan Mårtensson and receiving an assist from João Carvalho.[12] In his first season with Olympiacos, Fadiga won the league title.[13]
In the 2022–23 season, Fadiga joined fellow Super League Greece club Ionikos on loan. He became an integral member of the squad, playing twenty-eight league matches and scoring one goal.[1][14] In May 2023, it was revealed that he had been voted Ionikos's Player of the Season.[15] However, the club was relegated at the end of the season.[16]
