Mame Baba Thiam (born 9 October 1992) is a Senegalese footballer who plays as a forward for Juventus F.C..
Born in Nguidile,Louga Region, Thiam left for Italy at young age. Thiam was selected to Veneto region Allievi team for Coppa Nazionale Primavera, a competition against other Italy regional representatives in 2007–08 season. At club level he played for Real San Marco, from Chirignago , mainland area of Venice municipality. In 2008, he was signed by Veneto club Treviso. In January 2009 he was signed by Internazionale from Treviso along with Samuel Longo. He immediately entered Inter's Allievi Nazionali under-17 team, scoring 4 goals in regular season (group stage). Due to Inter's Primavera under-20 team had many strikers, namely Denis Alibec, Mattia Destro, Simone Dell'Agnello, Giuseppe Angarano and Longo, Thiam left for Sassuolo's Primavera team (literally Spring team) in August 2009. The Emilia-Romagna side also borrowed Alberto Gallinetta and kept numbers of former Inter players by extended the loans or excised the option to sign outright from Inter, such as Pellegrino Albanese, Raffaele Conforto and Giorgio Schiavini. Thiam was the starting forward along with Diego Falcinelli, who also from Inter academy. However the coach also used other formation and preferred Falcinelli as sole centre forward despite Thiam also played that role few time. That season Thiam scored 4 times.
