Ghanaian winger Kamaldeen Sulemana has joined Atalanta Bergamo on a long-term deal from Southampton FC.
The 23-year-old successfully passed his medical and signed a contract worth 17.5 million Euros, with potential add-ons of 4 million Euros based on performance.
Sulemana’s move to Italy marks a new chapter in his career, following stints in Denmark with FC Nordsjaelland and France with Stade Rennais.
Since joining Southampton in January 2023 for a record fee, he made 34 Premier League appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists.
Despite the team’s relegation, Sulemana’s speed, dribbling, and creativity impressed Atalanta’s scouts.
The transfer offers Sulemana an opportunity to revitalize his career in a top European league and compete in continental football.
Notably, he will work under Ivan Juric, his former manager at Southampton, providing familiarity and potential growth.
Sulemana’s signing is a significant coup for Atalanta, bolstering their attacking options ahead of the new season.
