Kamaldeen during his first training session with Atalanta
Kamaldeen Sulemana has officially begun life at Atalanta after taking part in his first training session with the Serie A club ahead of the 2025/26 season, on Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
The 23-year-old winger was among the new arrivals checking in at the Centro Bortolotti training complex as the Bergamo side kicked off pre-season under the watchful eye of manager Ivan Juric.
Kamaldeen, who signed a four-year contract with Atalanta, with an option for an extra year, joined his new teammates for a series of passing drills, shooting exercises, one-on-one situations and physical conditioning routines as the squad gears up for the new campaign.
The former Southampton forward completed his move to Italy earlier in July 2025, after the Championship side agreed terms with Atalanta.
Kamaldeen made 74 appearances for the Saints, scoring four goals and providing seven assists during his spell at St Mary’s.
At Atalanta, he reunites with Ivan Juric, the coach under whom he featured 30 times previously, contributing two goals and three assists. The winger is hoping to rediscover his best form under Juric’s guidance in Bergamo.
Kamaldeen will also link up with fellow Ghanaian international Ibrahim Sulemana, who joined Atalanta last summer, adding a familiar face in the dressing room as he settles into life in Serie A.
The Black Stars forward will be aiming to make a strong impression in pre-season and stake an early claim for a regular starting spot as Atalanta prepare for another campaign of domestic and European football.
