On October 1, 2019, Nice Football Club terminated the contract of 18-year-old striker Lamine Diaby Fadiga after he admitted stealing a 70,000-euro ($76,500) watch from team-mate Kasper Dolberg due to jealousy.
Diaby Fadiga, a France Under-18 international, confessed to the theft and apologized to Dolberg, pledging to fully reimburse the Denmark international.
According to Nice, Diaby Fadiga's actions were unacceptable, and the club decided to cancel its contract with the 18-year-old forward with immediate effect.
Diaby Fadiga could, however, find a new club in the coming days, with Ligue 2 side Paris FC reportedly considering a move for the teenager.
