Ghanaian midfielder lbrahim Sulemana Kakari is set to play for his new club Cagliari in the 2023/2024 league season.
The talented 20-year-old moved to Cagliari from Hellas Verona last week, following an impressive season with Verona. Signing a contract that runs until June 2027, with an option for an additional year, Sulemana turned down an approach from Bologna for Cagliari.
PROFILE. Ibrahim Sulemana Kakari was born on May 22, 2003, in Sunyani, the capital of the Bono region of central-western Ghana. Agent Oliver Artur discovered him during a Scout event in his hometown. This allowed him to be selected among the few boys watched by some Italian clubs.

Atalanta believed in Ibrahim, who was included in their Under-17 team in 2019. However, a groin injury took him away from the Orobic Club, and Verona stepped in.
As a result of a decisive surgical operation, he achieved success on the Verona Spring path. The decision to form the first team was natural. He made his Serie A debut on October 9, 2022, as a substitute against Salernitana, aged 19 years and 140 days.
FEATURES. Central midfielder with a strong defensive attitude. He loves the right foot. His most impressive qualities are his tackling and ball recovery skills, as well as his assertiveness in the air. Physically healthy, he is 180cm tall and weighs 78kg. As a “making wood” element with a top-notch technical base, he is not an exception.
He played 17 games and started seven of them. There were 737 minutes on the field for the young Ghanaian, making his debut in a first-team game. Four yellow cards were collected.
