Benfica & Cagliari Among Five Clubs Interested In Inter Milan Starlet | OneFootball

Benfica and Cagliari are reportedly part of a five-horse race for the services of Inter Milan youngster Issiaka Kamate.

The Frenchman is a youth product of Montfermeil who signed for the Nerazzurri in 2020.

After cementing himself as one of the most promising youngsters in the club’s primavera squad, he earned a promotion to the first team this summer.

The winger who recently turned 20 has been regularly featuring in Simone Inzaghi’s starting lineup this pre-season. The Frenchman has been occupying the right wingback slot

But with Matteo Darmian and Denzel Dumfries returning from their summer vacations, his playing time is set to be vastly reduced.

Therefore, Kamate could leave the nest in search of a prominent role. This could lead him to an experience in Belgium.

According to Belgian football journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Inter are currently waiting for Anderlecht to give a definitive answer on their counter-offer.

The Belgian giants are hoping to sign the youngster on a paid loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.

Nevertheless, Tavolieri adds that Anderlecht are facing competition from CD Mirandes, a club that resides in the Spanish second division.

On the other hand, TuttoMercatoWeb (via FcInterNews) names another three suitors.

The Italian source claims that Benfica are keeping tabs on the promising Inter Milan starlet.

Moreover, Cagliari and Hellas Verona have joined the race, offering Kamate the opportunity to earn Serie A experience next season.

The 20-year-old was born in France of Ivorian origins, but has yet to represent either nation on the international level.

The youngster’s contract with the Nerazzurri is valid until June 2026 having signed an extension last summer.
