Club career

Niakaté made his professional debut for Valenciennes FC in a 1–0 Ligue 2 loss to Nîmes Olympique on 31 July 2017, making his appearance at the age of 18.[1][2]

On 31 August 2018, the last day of the 2018 summer transfer window, Niakaté joined Ligue 1 side Guingamp on a five-year contract. He was immediately loaned back to Valenciennes for the remainder of the season.[3]

On 12 August 2021, he joined Metz on a season-long loan with an option to buy.[4]

On 28 June 2022, Niakaté moved on loan to Braga in Portugal. Braga holds an option to buy his rights at the end of the loan for €1.8 million, and if he plays in half of the official games in the season, the option would become an obligation to buy.[5]

International career

Niakaté was called up to the France U17 national team in December 2015, becoming the first player in Évreux FC 27 history to do so.[6] Niakaté was called up to the Mali national team for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Gabon.[7][8]
