In a major move for Ghanaian football, Kamaldeen Sulemana is set to join Italian Serie A side Atalanta from Southampton in a deal worth up to €21.5 million. The agreement, confirmed by renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, marks a significant step forward in the winger’s career after a challenging season in the English Championship.

The deal will see Atalanta pay €17.5 million in instalments, with an additional €4 million in performance-based add-ons. Southampton, who signed Sulemana from Rennes in 2023, have also secured a 15 percent sell-on clause, ensuring future financial benefits should Atalanta sell the player.

Sulemana, 23, is expected to sign a contract that runs until June 2029, with an option to extend. The Ghana international brings pace, flair, and creativity to Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad, who will be looking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of a new campaign in Europe.

Sulemana struggled to find consistency with Southampton following their relegation from the Premier League but remained a bright spark with his electric dribbling and ability to stretch defences. His move to Atalanta comes at a crucial point in his development, offering him a fresh start in one of Europe’s top leagues.

This transfer could also prove beneficial for the Black Stars, as regular appearances at a high level will sharpen Sulemana’s form ahead of Ghana’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers and AFCON 2025 preparations.
