Elfadli is a youth product of TSG Leonberg, Eltingen and SKV Rutesheim. He began his senior career in the seventh division of Germany, the Landesliga, with Rutesheim in 2016. In 2018, he moved to SSV Reutlingen 05, and his success there earned him a move to FC Nöttingen in the Oberliga. He spent the 2021–22 season with VfR Aalen in the Regionalliga. 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Magdeburg scouted him, and after eight games signed him in advance of the 2022–23 season.
On 1 July 2024, Elfadli signed with Hamburger SV. He played a key role in Hamburger SV's promotion after seven seasons. However, a training injury on 7 November 2025, sidelined him for nearly a month, subsequently reducing his appearances in the starting lineup.
