Edgar Miguel Ié (European Portuguese: [ɛðˈɣaɾ ˈjɛ]; born 1 May 1994) is a Bissau-Guinean professional footballer who plays primarily as a central defender but also as a right-back.
After making one substitute appearance for Barcelona, he went on to play top-flight football in Portugal, France, Turkey, the Netherlands and Romania.
Ié represented Portugal at youth international level, including the under-23 team at the 2016 Olympics, and earned one senior cap in 2017. He switched to Guinea-Bissau in 2021.
Club career
[edit]Barcelona
[edit]Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, Ié joined Sporting CP's youth system in 2008, aged 14. In summer 2012, after concluding his development, he moved to FC Barcelona in Spain alongside his teammate and compatriot Agostinho Cá.[3]
In Catalonia, Ié started playing with the B team in the Segunda División. He made his official debut on 8 December 2012, playing ten minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Elche CF.[4]
Ié made his only competitive appearance for Barcelona's main squad on 3 December 2014, coming on for Jérémy Mathieu for the last 27 minutes of a 4–0 win at SD Huesca in the last 32 of the Copa del Rey.[5] On 27 August 2015, he signed a three-year deal at Villarreal CF, being assigned to the reserves in the Segunda División B.[6] He appeared moderately often in a season which ended with a play-off berth, being sent off alongside Anton Shvets on 3 April in a 1–0 away victory over Valencia CF Mestalla.[7]
Belenenses
[edit]On 26 December 2016, Ié returned to Lisbon, signing for C.F. Os Belenenses.[8] He made his Primeira Liga debut the following 27 January, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–0 away defeat of Boavista FC.[9]
Lille
[edit]On 5 July 2017, Ié transferred to French club Lille OSC for €3 million, the highest transfer fee Belenenses ever received for a player.[10][11] He scored his only goal in Ligue 1 on 28 January 2018, helping the hosts beat RC Strasbourg Alsace 2–1 by heading home a corner kick from Anwar El Ghazi in injury time.[12]
Ié was loaned to FC Nantes also of the French top division in late January 2019.[13]
Trabzonspor
[edit]On 12 August 2019, Ié signed a three-year contract with Trabzonspor of the Turkish Süper Lig as part of the deal involving Yusuf Yazıcı.[14][15] He was loaned to Feyenoord four days later,[16][17] making his Eredivisie debut on the 18th in a 1–1 home draw against FC Utrecht.[18]
On 21 December 2021, Ié suffered a right knee anterior cruciate ligament injury in a 2–1 win at Altay SK, ruling him out for six months and therefore ending his season.[19] Days later, he was released.[20]
Later career
[edit]Having been unemployed for over a year, Ié remained in Turkey's top division, signing an 18-month contract on 23 January 2023 with İstanbul Başakşehir FK.[20] He was an unused substitute on 11 June as his team lost the Turkish Cup final 2–0 to Fenerbahçe SK.[21]
After playing only eight total games, Ié terminated his contract in January 2024.[22] He then moved to FC Dinamo București, 15th in Romania's Liga I.[23] In May, the press announced that the latter had launched an investigation following accusations that he had sent his twin brother, Edelino, to play for the club instead;[24] Dinamo denied this had ever taken place,[25] and he was released at the end of the campaign.[26]
International career
[edit]Ié was initially selected by Portugal for the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Championship,[27] but missed the tournament in Estonia due to injury. Eventually, he won 37 caps at youth level, including 12 for the under-21 team. Coach Rui Jorge named him in the under-23 team that reached the quarter-finals of the 2016 Olympic tournament in Brazil.[28]
Ié first appeared with the full side on 10 November 2017, replacing Pepe for the last 34 minutes of the 3–0 friendly win over Saudi Arabia in Viseu.[29] In September 2021, however, he switched his allegiance to Guinea-Bissau,[30] being selected on 5 November for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Guinea and Sudan.[31] He missed the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations through injury.[32]
Ié made his debut for Guinea-Bissau on 14 June 2023, in a 1–0 away defeat of São Tomé and Príncipe for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying phase.[33][34]
Personal life
[edit]Ié's twin brother, Edelino, is also a footballer. A midfielder, he too came through the youth teams at Sporting.[35]
