Club career edit

Born in Buenos Aires, Fattore moved to Spain at early age, and joined Sevilla FC's at the age of eight, from local side AD Nervión.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 16 September 2018, aged 17, by starting in a 1–2 Tercera División home loss against Córdoba CF B.

Fattore first appeared with the reserves on 21 April 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Chris Ramos in a 1–2 home loss against Recreativo de Huelva.[2] He was definitely promoted to the B-side ahead of the 2020–21 campaign, and renewed his contract until 2023 on 23 February 2021.[3]

Fattore made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 21 December 2021, replacing Lucas Ocampos late into a 1–1 home draw against FC Barcelona.[4][5]

International career edit

Born in Argentina and raised in Spain, Fattore is of Italian descent through his father, and therefore holds Argentine, Italian, and Spanish nationalities.[6] He represented the latter's under-19 team in a 1–1 friendly with Italy on 15 January 2020.[7]

Personal life edit

Fattore's grandfather Héctor Scotta was also a footballer. A forward, he represented Sevilla in the late 1970s.[8][9]
