Since returning to Serie A for the 2023/2024 season, Cagliari Calcio has successfully signed young midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana. Last season, the Ghanaian helped Hellas Verona FC retain their elite division status, and this season he is playing a key role in the results for the Cagliari team.

Ibrahim Sulemana

For the 2024 season, Cagliari Calcio’s total salary expenditure stands at €30,130,000 per year, or €579,423 per week. The team’s highest-paid player is striker Andrea Petagna, an Italian national team member on loan from AC Monza, earning €3,330,000 per year or €64,038 per week. 

In contrast, Ibrahim Sulemana ranks 22nd in salary, the lowest among the club’s foreign players.

Market Value: Continuous Rise Since Debut

Within just one season with Hellas Verona FC’s main team, the Ghanaian’s transfer value increased fifteen fold. Although his playing time has decreased since his move to Cagliari Calcio, his transfer value has still more than doubled, reaching a peak. Currently, Transfermarkt values the midfielder at €3.5 million, placing him eighth among the most valuable players of the Italian club, tied with Italian Gaetano Oristanio and Pole Mateusz Wieteska.

National Team and Future Prospects

Ibrahim Sulemana has yet to be called up to the youth or senior Ghanaian national teams. In the 2023/2024 season, he is gradually becoming one of the core players for his club. Out of 22 Serie A match days, he spent only nine matches on the bench and managed to score against Frosinone Calcio. 

However, a recent ankle injury in early February has sidelined him since. If Sulemana can secure more playing time and increase his scoring following his recovery, he not only has the potential to debut for the Ghana national team but also to attract attention from stronger European clubs.
