Without Thomas Tuchel, Bandiougou Fadiga would certainly have left PSG last summer.
And since the departure of the German technician to Chelsea, who reassured him and offered him his first minutes of play in Ligue 1 against Metz (1-0, September 16), the young 20-year-old midfielder has chances to leave his training club.
A few weeks ago, the one who was discovered at FC Issy-les-Moulineaux, however, saw himself remaining until the end of the season in contact with an experienced group and in which he lives rather well.
We want as proof, the images accomplices with Neymar after his treble in the Champions League against Istanbul Basaksehir (5-1, December 9).
At the beginning of January, Leonardo therefore opened the door to a loan so that the boy with the jovial character and the bubbly personality found more playing time. Without hurrying, Fadiga and his entourage looked at the options of a club practicing a beautiful football and in which the physical criterion was not the most decisive.
Paris values it around 10 million euros
For several days, Brest has been in contact with PSG to obtain the loan of the midfielder under contract until 2022. Paris valued the player around 10 million euros, far from the means of the Bretons, especially in the economic context which undermines the French championship.
But in recent hours, the positions of the two clubs have come together to find an agreement on a loan with an option to buy, with various bonuses, which would allow Paris to reach the initially expected sum.
There are still some details to settle between the player and the Breton club.
While Leonardo seeks, in vain, to separate from certain elements of the workforce to rebalance the finances of the club, which lost 95 million euros over the 2019-2020 season, the departure of Bandiougou Fadiga could be the only one during this transfer window.
