Como purchased him from KRC Genk for €6m in the summer of 2024, but he had some bad luck with injuries.

Fadera spent last season out on loan at Sassuolo, where he scored two goals and provided two assists in 30 appearances between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

There was an option to buy there for €10m, but the Neroverdi didn’t take it up.

The negotiations had been in progress with Lecce for a while, but Cagliari swooped in yesterday to improve on the proposal and win over the player too.

This evening, Como announced that Fadera had joined Cagliari on loan with an option to make it permanent at the end of the current campaign.
