Youth career & Inter

Born in Jesolo, the Province of Venice, Momentè started his career at Montebelluna. In 2002, he was signed by Internazionale and spent 4 seasons at their youth teams.

2004–05

After Riccardo Meggiorini was promoted to first team, the loan of Isah Eliakwu, non-signing of Eros Bagnara and Federico Piovaccari was not eligible anymore at the start of 2004–05 season, the Inter 2003–04 Allievi Nazionali under-17 team league top-scorer (15 goals in regular season + 3 in playoffs) was promoted to Primavera under-20 team along with Domenico Germinale. He repeated his success in youth team, scored 4 goals in regular season of Primavera League, one goal behind the team top-scorer Matteo Lombardo, and scored the equal number of goal with Germinale, Abdoulaye Diarra and Dino Marino. Primavera team finished as the losing quarter-finalists of the playoffs round. The team failed to repeat the success of last season (runner-up) in its rebuild season. Momentè was the starting forward in that match, partnering Antonio Croce.[1]

Also, Momentè was the team top-scorer of Berretti under-20 team, (which usually the B team of that age group, or a U-18 team) with 12 goals in regular season and entered the playoffs final, just beaten by Juventus in 3–4 aggregate.[2][3] Momentè scored 2 goals in the playoffs, shared the playoffs round team top-scorer with Diarra, Simone Fautario, Omar Laribi and Roberto Floriano.

Momentè also played 4 friendlies for Inter first team in 2004–05 season,[4][5] one at TIM Trophy, twice in mid-season. [6][7] and received call-ups for official matches 3 times.[8][9][10]

2005–06

In 2005–06 season, Momentè scored 10 goals for Primavera in regular season as team top-scorer, while the team exited in the first round (round of 16) of the playoffs season, eliminated by Palermo on penalties.[11] He also won the Coppa Italia Primavera with club.[12][13]

For the first team, he occasionally picked by Roberto Mancini, played numbers of friendlies in pre-season[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and during mid-season.[23] Momentè made his official debut on 30 November 2005 against Parma, a Coppa Italia match.
