Early career Minala began playing for amateur club Vigor Perconti and attracted the attention of
Napoli, who gave him a two-month trial. He was spotted by
Lazio scouts in 2013, while representing the
region of Lazio in the
Trofeo delle Regioni. In early 2014, Minala then made news when his age was publicly disputed by multiple parties. Both Lazio and the player denied the claims. In May 2014, the
Italian FA completed their investigation into the claims, confirming the accuracy of his given age and announcing that no disciplinary action would be taken against him or Lazio.
