Musampa began his football career with Zeeburgia and Elinkwijk, for whom he played until 2014.[1] He then moved to Almere City for two years before moving to the renowned Ajax youth academy.[1] In 2016–17, he made four appearances for the under-17 team. In the following season he established himself in the team and scored one goal in 26 games. In 2018–29, Musampa mainly played for the under-19 team, including in the UEFA Youth League.[2]
