Ibrahim Sulemana

Ibrahim Sulemana of Cagliari was born in Sunyani, Ghana on 22 May 2003 (age 22).

Ibrahim Sulemana was born on the 22nd of May, 2003 in Ghana. At a youthful 22 years old, he commands the midfield with his role primarily as a central defensive midfielder. Currently, he is contributing his talents to Bologna, an Italian Serie A club. For those interested in the specifics, he stands at 5 feet 10 inches tall (equivalent to 1.8 metres) and weighs 12 stones 3 pounds (which is approximately 78 kilograms). Sulemana can easily be recognised on the field, donning the number 77 jersey, frequently seen in the thick of the game. On an international level, he has been selected to play for the Ghana national team.

To measure his career progression in terms of monetary value, his current market value is estimated to be around €6.00m, which is approximately £5.1m according to Transfermarkt.

Sulemana's professional career led him on a journey across Italy's Serie A clubs. The lad began at Atalanta, transferring to Hellas Verona in July 2022 for an undisclosed fee. He made a decent start there, securing 16 appearances in his debut season of 2022-2023. Following year, in July 2023 he moved south to Cagliari, for a fee of roughly £3.5m. Sulemana managed to find the back of the net twice in the 23-24 season, appearing 21 times for his new club.

The course of his career was a bit of a round trip, since in July 2024, he transferred back to Atalanta for about £6.3m. That season he scored two goals from nine appearances, no mean feat for the young Ghanaian. As of September 2025, he was loaned out to Bologna, demonstrating his consistency by gaining three first team appearances in the on-going 2025-2026 season.

On an international scale, Sulemana's talents were recognised when he was called up for the 2024-2026 World Cup Qualifiers for Africa where he made an appearance. For his current club Bologna, he started in the Coppa Italia 2025 - 2026.
