Ghana star Kamaldeen Sulemana has started his medical tests for a big move to Italian giants Atalanta. The 22-year-old winger wants to leave Southampton after their terrible Premier League season. Atalanta will pay 17.5 million euros upfront for the speedy attacker. The deal could rise to 21.5 million euros if Sulemana hits certain targets. Southampton keeps 15 percent of any future sale the player makes.
Sulemana will complete his second round of medical checks on Tuesday at a Milan clinic. Atalanta plan to offer him a four-year deal with the chance to stay another season. The talented winger joined Southampton from France for a club record fee back in January 2023. He played 26 Premier League games last season and scored just one goal. His electric pace and dribbling skills caught the attention of Atalanta scouts.
This move gives Sulemana his first taste of Italian football after spells in England, France and Denmark. Southampton suffered one of the worst campaigns in Premier League history last season. The Saints collected only 12 points from 38 matches and finished bottom of the table. Sulemana hopes Serie A will revive his career after a tough time at St Marys. Atalanta want him to add pace and creativity to their attack.
