Italian Serie A side Atalanta BC have reached an agreement to sign Ghanaian winger Kamaldeen Sulemana from English club Southampton.
The 23-year-old is set to sign a contract until 2029, with the transfer fee reportedly valued at €17.5 million, payable in instalments, plus an additional €4 million in performance-related add-ons.
Southampton will also retain a 15% sell-on clause should Sulemana be transferred from Atalanta in the future.
Capable of operating as a left winger, second striker, or centre-forward, Sulemana brings versatility to the Bergamo-based side.
This past season, he made 30 appearances across all competitions for Southampton, scoring two goals and providing three assists in the Premier League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup.
His Premier League stats included one goal and one assist, averaging 55 minutes per game.
Sulemana originally joined Southampton from French Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennes in January 2023 for €25 million.
However, the club’s relegation from the Premier League has prompted the sale of several players as part of efforts to reduce the wage bill.
