Professional career

Dijon

Loiodice joined the Dijon youth academy in 2015, moving from FC Gobelins.[4] He made his professional debut for Dijon in a 3–1 Ligue 1 loss to Bordeaux on 28 April 2018.[5]

On 3 July 2018, Loiodice signed his first professional contract with Dijon for three years.[6] On the 25th August 2018, Loiodice provided an assist in an impressive performance against OGC Nice in a 4-0 win. He was named in L'Equipe's team of the week following this performance (Matchday 3).

On 29 January 2020 he moved on loan to Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers, with the intention to spend the remainder of the season with their under-23 side with a view to a permanent transfer.[7] However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the game to be suspended in England, cutting any opportunities for Loiodice to impress and he instead returned to France in early June.[8]

International career

Loiodice was born in France and is of Italian descent. He is a youth international for France.[9] Loiodice was named in the French squad for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland. Despite being the youngest member of the squad he started for France in their opening two games against Saudi Arabia (2-0 win) and Panama (2-0 win). He was rested for the third game as France had already qualified. He returned to the starting eleven in the next round against USA as France lost narrowly 3-2.
