Alberto Marzagalia of Eurodevotion was the first to report about both sides being on the verge of signing a contract.

According to BasketNews sources, ALBA Berlin were also after a 22-year-old 211 cm tall center, who was selected with the 46th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.

It was believed Kamagate would be suiting up for ALBA this summer, but Milan came out of nowhere with an opportunity that was difficult to reject.

The young Frenchman is expected to join EA7 Emporio Armani on a two-year deal.

Kamagate, who had a contract with Paris Basketball, will be parting ways with the French club using a buyout clause.

In 23 minutes per game in the 2022-23 EuroCup season, Kamagate averaged 9.2 points (76.3% 2FG, 80.4% FT), 8.4 rebounds (2.8 ORB), 1.5 blocks, and a 17.2 PIR.

Kamagate ranked 4th in the league in total rebounds, 3rd in offensive rebounds, 1st in blocks, and 11th in efficiency.

In the French championship, he averaged 9.9 points (74.3% 2FG), 7.5 rebounds (2.7 ORB), and 1.4 blocks in 23 minutes of play.
