The beginnings at Chievo, Inzaghi’s words: debut among professionals for Aidoo

The Nerazzurri Primavera defender, born in 2005, took to the pitch at the end of the Italian Cup match against Udinese

89th minute of Inter-Udinese, round of 16 of the Italian Cup: Matteo Darmian leaves for the Nerazzurri, Mike Aidoo comes in in his place. A moment that the Inter Primavera defender will never forget, the moment of his absolute debut among professionals. Right-back, born in 2005, on his fourth call-up to the First Team he was able to take his first steps in “grown-up” football, in an exceptional setting like the San Siro. That stadium that he recently began to get to know personally and which, who knows, could become his home in the future.

Of Ghanaian origins, his childhood spent in Verona, Aidoo grew up in the youth sector of Chievo, where he completed the entire process up to U16. In the summer of 2021, following the bankruptcy of the Clivense club, he becomes one of the most sought-after talents by the big Italian teams: Inter comes out on top, drawing heavily from the yellow-blues, bringing to Milan in the same transfer session (in addition to Aidoo) also the contemporary Bovo and the 2004 Martini and Lubishtani. At Interello Mike imposed himself immediately, even earning a call-up to the U17 national team, and since 2023 he has been one of the pillars of the Primavera team, an irremovable starter on the right wing first with Chivu and today with Zanchetta.
