Yaw Asamoah Agyei has completed a permanent move from Ghanaian side EurAfrica FC to Atalanta U20, sealing a switch that takes the teenage centre-forward from domestic football in Ghana to the Italian Primavera 1. The transfer was finalised on 2026-02-02, with his new contract at Atalanta U20 running until 2026-06-30.
The deal sees the 18-year-old registered with Atalanta’s U20/Primavera setup, confirming his status as an overseas-based player for the first time in his career. The move is listed as a standard transfer, with the fee undisclosed, and no market value recorded for the striker at the time of the switch.
Agyei joins Atalanta’s youth ranks after departing EurAfrica FC, the Ghanaian club where he had been developing before attracting attention from Europe. His new side competes in Italy’s Primavera 1, placing him in one of the most respected youth competitions in European football, a clear step up in profile and level from his previous domestic environment.
Primarily a centre-forward, Agyei is listed as an attacking player who operates through the middle and prefers his right foot. Standing at 1.80m, he offers a blend of physical presence and mobility in the final third, attributes that Atalanta Primavera will be looking to refine within their highly regarded development structure.
Born in Ghana and holding Ghanaian nationality, Agyei will now be eligible to test himself regularly against some of the most promising young defenders in Italy. The transfer marks his first move outside Ghana, breaking his connection with the local game at club level and placing him on a clearer pathway toward top-flight European football if his progress continues.
Atalanta U20, formally Atalanta Primavera, are known for giving young attacking players opportunities to develop and, in some cases, graduate towards senior professional football in Serie A or beyond. Agyei’s arrival adds further depth to their attacking options and underlines the Italian club’s ongoing focus on recruiting emerging talent from Africa.
With no previous European clubs or other professional leagues listed in his history, this transfer represents a direct leap from Ghanaian football into a competitive youth environment in Italy. The absence of an official market valuation at the time of the move underlines how early he still is in his career, with his performances in Primavera 1 now likely to shape any future valuation and potential senior-level interest.
For Agyei, the confirmed deal offers a clear chance to establish himself on the European stage, and how he adapts to Italian football at Atalanta U20 over the course of his contract to 2026-06-30 will go a long way toward defining the next phase of his career.
