Sassuolo have officially signed attacking winger Alieu Fadera from Como, on loan with option to buy and counter-option.

The transfer had been in the works for a while and was finally completed this evening.

According to reports, Sassuolo are paying a €1m fee for the one-season loan and have an option to buy at the end of the season for a further €10m.

At the same time, Como will retain a buy-back clause, as confirmed by the statement on the official Sassuolo website.

Fadera made good impact on Serie A

The 23-year-old only joined Como last summer from KRC Genk for €5m plus add-ons.

He is a Gambia international with 12 senior caps for his country.

Primarily a left-sided attacking winger, Fadera scored one goal and provided four assists in his debut season at Como, achieved during 28 Serie A appearances.

Those were 20 starts and eight games coming off the bench as a substitute.
