Ibrahim Sulemana was born on 22 May 2003 and hails from Ghana. A formidable presence on the football pitch, he currently plies his trade as a central defensive midfielder for Atalanta. Standing at 5ft 10in (1.8m) and weighing in at 12st 3lb (78kg), the midfielder cuts an imposing figure, striking fear into the heart of opposition players. The power and authority associated with the number 6 jersey seems perfectly suited to his style of play.
With a current market value of a commendable £5.1m, according to Transfermarkt, his place in the higher echelons of the sport is well secured. For now, he remains contracted to Atalanta until the 30th of June 2028, giving him ample time to further impress.
Sulemana's footballing journey has seen him traverse the Italian Serie A, moving from Atalanta to Hellas Verona on an undisclosed fee back in July 2022. During the 2022 - 2023 season with Verona, he put in a respectable 16 first team appearances in league matches. His performances caught the attention of Cagliari, leading to a transfer in July the following year for an estimated £3.5m.
Donning the Cagliari colours in the 2023 - 2024 season, Sulemana found his feet and began to assert himself more decisively on the field. He made 21 first team appearances and even managed to net two goals in league matches. His performances stirred up some nostalgia in Atalanta, and led to his return to the club in July 2024 for a hefty £6.3m.
In the current 2024 - 2025 season, after having just made 3 first-team appearances for Atalanta, Sulemana has plenty of opportunities ahead to prove himself as a key asset to the team once again.
