Born in Bissau, Sami played the vast majority of his professional career in Portugal, finishing his development at S.L. Benfica.[2] In his first two years as a senior he alternated between the Segunda Liga and the third division, representing Eléctrico F.C. and C.D. Aves.[3][4]
Sami signed with C.S. Marítimo in the 2009 summer, appearing for both the first and second teams during his four-year spell in the island of Madeira. Late into the 2010 January transfer window he was loaned to second-tier side C.D. Fátima, which eventually avoided relegation.[5] On 18 August 2013, his only Primeira Liga goal of the season helped his parent club to defeat Benfica 2–1.[6]
On 29 May 2014, free agent Sami joined FC Porto on a four-year contract.[7] He never appeared for them in competitive matches, however, being consecutively loaned to S.C. Braga,[8] Vitória S.C.[9] and Turkish Süper Lig's Akhisar Belediyespor.[10] His tenure at the Estádio Municipal de Braga was curtailed in January 2015, due to a run-in with manager Sérgio Conceição.[11][12]
In February 2017, still owned by Porto, Sami moved to F.C. Arouca in the Portuguese top flight.[13] On 3 July, he returned to Aves on a two-year contract.[14]
Sami was selected for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations by manager Baciro Candé.[15] During the tournament in Gabon, which ended in group stage exit, he featured 24 minutes in the 1–2 loss to Cameroon.[16]
