'He is eager to grow' - Atalanta head coach on Kamaldeen Sulemana

Atalanta's Ivan Juric has said that Kamaldeen Sulemana is still developing and hasn't reached his peak yet, but he's already shown flashes of brilliance.

The Ghanaian player signed a four-year contract with the Serie A team on July 2, 2025, with an option to extend for another year.

Sulemana left Southampton for a fee that could rise to £18 million.

The 23-year-old rejoins coach Juric, whom he previously worked with at Southampton.

“He's already gotten some playing time in a pre-season friendly against Atalanta's U-23 squad. Today, he showed some good things, acceleration and shots,” Juric told Atalanta media.

“In my opinion, he is a guy who needs to be developed. He is not a finished player, but he really wants to grow,” he said.

Atalanta kicks off their 2025/26 Serie A season at home against Pisa SC on August 24, 2025, at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, with kickoff scheduled for 18:45 GMT.

This upcoming match marks the beginning of a new season, which is set to start on August 23, 2025, and conclude on May 24, 2026.
