In a notable move during the summer transfer window, Ghanaian midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana has sealed a transfer to Atalanta Bergamo Calcio, the reigning Europa League champions.

The 21-year-old joins Atalanta from Cagliari, marking a significant step in his career ahead of the upcoming 2024/25 season.

Sulemana has established himself as one of Serie A’s standout young talents since his arrival in Italy in 2021, initially with Hellas Verona before moving to Cagliari. His contributions, including a crucial goal that secured Hellas Verona’s survival in the 2022 playoffs against Spezia, highlight his impact as a hardworking defensive midfielder.

Having garnered attention from several top European clubs due to his performances, Atalanta moved swiftly to secure his services.

Sulemana will now join his new teammates for pre-season preparations as Atalanta gears up for a demanding season, starting with a Super Cup clash against Real Madrid. Additionally, Atalanta will compete in the UEFA Champions League following their Europa League triumph last season.
