Giovanni Fabbian is an Italian midfielder, born on 14 January 2003 (age 23). A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he is primarily a central midfielder and is now with Parma, where he wears squad number 80.
His early senior breakthrough came at Reggina in 2022-23, when he scored eight league goals in 36 appearances. For a young midfielder, that was a useful season rather than a footnote, and it helped set up the spell that has done most to shape his career so far.
That spell came at Bologna. Across three seasons, Fabbian made 71 league appearances and scored 10 league goals, giving him the bulk of his senior profile and the clearest evidence of his level in Serie A. His game there was built more on presence, timing and midfield running than anything especially ornamental, which is no bad thing.
At Parma in 2026-27, he has made six appearances across competitions, including Serie A and the Coppa Italia, along with three UEFA under-21 qualifying appearances. His market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Fabbian’s career remains that of a developing Italian midfielder, with Reggina providing the first strong season, Bologna giving him his main body of work, and Parma the next stage.
