During the summer transfer window, Ghanaian midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana joined Atalanta Bergamo Calcio, the winners of the Europa League.
Ahead of the 2024–2025 season, Ibrahim Sulemana transfers from rivals Cagliari to the Italian team. Following his transfer to the Serie A in 2021, where he played for Hellas Verona and Cagliari, Sulemana has become as one of the best young players in the Italian league.
After scoring a goal to ensure Hellas Verona’s survival versus Spezia in the 2022 playoffs, the diligent defensive midfield player assisted both clubs in surviving another league season. He played a crucial role in helping Claudio Ranieri’s team avoid relegation the previous campaign.
A number of major European clubs took notice of him due to his performances in the Italian league, and Atalanta moved quickly to sign him.
Sulemana will begin preseason training with his teammates as Atalanta prepares ready for a hectic season that begins with a Super Cup matchup against Real Madrid.
After winning the Europa League the previous season, Atalanta will also compete in the UEFA Champions League.
