Cagliari are working behind the scenes to bring Ghanaian midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana back to the club, as they consider a possible loan move ahead of the second half of the Serie A season.
The 21-year-old, who was born in 2003, previously spent a season at Cagliari before securing a transfer to Atalanta. He joined the Bergamo side in the summer of 2024 in a €7.4 million deal, just a year after Cagliari had signed him for €4 million.
At the tail end of the last transfer window, Atalanta loaned Sulemana to Bologna, with the agreement including an €11 million option to buy. However, the Ghanaian midfielder is expected to be on the move again as he looks for more consistent playing time, with another loan seen as the most realistic outcome.
Cagliari have already opened discussions with both Atalanta and Bologna in an effort to facilitate his return to Sardinia. The club is understood to be banking on its good relationship with Atalanta to strengthen its position in the talks.
That said, Cagliari are not alone in the chase. Parma and Sassuolo are also keeping a close eye on Sulemana’s situation as they seek midfield reinforcements.
Sulemana remains under contract with Atalanta until June 30, 2028, and is currently valued at around €7 million.
