Ibrahim Sulemana, the highly-rated Ghanaian midfielder, appears poised to leave Atalanta during the January transfer window, sparking interest from several clubs keen to secure his services, Kickgh can exculsively reveal.
The 21-year-old has faced a challenging start to his Atalanta career following his move from Cagliari in July 2024, struggling to find consistent form and playing time under Gian Piero Gasperini.
Sulemana has made just three appearances for Atalanta so far, accumulating a total of 28 minutes on the pitch in matches against Lecce, Genoa, and Venezia and has not featured in the Champions League, as he was excluded from the squad list.
With his development seemingly stagnating, sources at Kickgh.com suggest that the player and his representatives are considering engaging with Atalanta's hierarchy to explore the possibility of a loan move for the young midfielder in the January transfer window.
There are quiet discussions suggesting that clubs in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain are interested in providing Sulemana with an opportunity to revive and reignite his promising but faltering career.
Interestingly, despite his struggles at the club level, Sulemana has been a consistent presence in Otto Addo's Black Stars squad, starting in four of Ghana's six AFCON 2025 qualifiers.
Sulemana made his debut for the Ghana national team on 6 June 2024, in a World Cup qualifier against Mali at the Stade du 26 Mars. Coming on as a substitute for Salis Abdul Samed in the 88th minute, he witnessed Ghana's late surge, with the team securing a 2–1 victory thanks to a goal in added time.
