Issiaka Kamate, a 22-year-old French midfielder, is very close to becoming a new player for Espanyol coming from Inter Milan. The deal is around €3 million for 50% of the player's rights, according to information from Matteo Moretto.

Negotiations between Espanyol and Inter have progressed to the final stages of an agreement. The Italian club would retain a 50% stake in Kamate, a formula that fits the strategy of both entities to finalize the operation.

Issiaka Kamate, the next reinforcement for Espanyol

Kamate has been with Inter since 2020, when he joined from France's youth teams. The player has developed much of his training in Italian football and this season has worked with the U-23 team.

Inter has already given him opportunities with the first team. In February 2026, Kamate started against Torino in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals and contributed with an assist in a 2-1 victory, according to the club's official records.

His career also includes two loan spells. Kamate went to Portugal's AVS FC and then to Módena, where he made 10 appearances in Serie B in the first half of 2025. He then returned to Italy to join Inter's U-23 project.

In the last season with the U-23 team, the midfielder recorded 6 goals and 3 assists in 33 Serie C games, numbers that explain part of the interest generated around the player during this transfer window.

Monchi speeds up the operation with Inter Milan

Kamate's arrival is part of the work of Monchi to complete Espanyol's squad before the start of LaLiga. AS places the player as one of the closest additions after the club's recent market moves.

Kamate's profile also responds to a specific need for Espanyol: he can play as a midfielder and winger, and has been used as a right-back during his time with Inter's first team.

The operation will not be a loan but a transfer with future participation from Inter. Reports from Italy and Spain agree that the Italian side will retain a percentage of any future sale, although Moretto's information indicates the current split is 50%.

Espanyol faced competition for Kamate during the summer. Granada inquired about his situation and Atletico Madrid also showed interest, though in the latter case, it was related to their reserve team. Inter had previously valued him close to €6 million.

The next step is to finalize the remaining details between Espanyol and Inter Milan to formalize the arrival of Issiaka Kamate. Barring any last-minute changes, the midfielder is set to become the next reinforcement for the team led by Manolo in the 2026/27 season.
