Official – Inter Milan Starlet Completes Loan Move To Portuguese League Side Aves | OneFootball

Young Inter Milan winger Issiaka Kamate has completed a move to join Portuguese side Aves on loan.

This is confirmed in a post on Aves’s Instagram page welcoming the Frenchman.

Kamate has been a part of the Nerazzurri’s youth team setup since 2020.

The 20-year-old has played for Inter at various youth team levels. Last campaign he played for the Nerazzurri’s Primavera or Under-19 team.

Kamate has yet to make a competitive senior appearance for Inter.

However, the Frenchman has trained with the first team, and has made appearances in the Nerazzurri’s preseason friendly matches under Simone Inzaghi this summer.

A versatile player, Kamate can play in both attacking and more defensive wide roles. He has featured at wingback in preseason.

But it always looked clear that Kamate would leave in search of more playing time.

And now, the 20-year-old’s destination has been confirmed.

Official – Inter Winger Issiaka Kamate Joins Aves On Loan

A few clubs came forward to try and sign Kamate this summer.

Hellas Verona had registered an interest in the 20-year-old. He was reportedly part of the talks between the Gialloblu and the Nerazzurri regarding defender Juan Cabal, before Cabal joined Juventus.

Then, there has been Anderlecht.

The Belgian side have been in talks with Inter to try and sign Kamate.

However, reports indicate that a big sticking point in the talks between Inter and Anderlecht had been the Nerazzurri’s insistence on a buyback option.

Inter did not want to lose control of Kamate’s future for good. On the other hand, Anderlecht wanted to be able to sign Kamate permanently.

However, this did not prove to be a problem with Aves.

The Portuguese club showed a willingness to include not just a purchase option but also a buyback clause in Kamate’s loan.

Moreover, reports suggest that Aves were willing to offer more guarantees of senior playing time. This was an important factor in Kamate’s decision.

The 20-year-old has therefore undergone the medicals and signed for Aves. He will spend the next season in Portugal.
