Juma Bah: Sierra Leone defender linked with Atalanta move from Man City

Sierra Leone defender Juma Bah, currently at Man City, has been linked with a move to Atalanta in Serie A.

Bah, 20, plays as a centre-back and is contracted to the Premier League club until 30 June 2031. The potential move would take him from English football to Italy, with Atalanta identified as the club interested in signing him.

The defender joined Manchester City on 27 January 2025 and has remained under contract at the club since then. His current market value is listed at €10m, a figure that could provide a reference point if discussions develop between the two clubs.

Bah was born in Freetown and represents Sierra Leone internationally. He stands 1.95m tall and is right-footed.

The reported link comes with no stated probability or confirmed transfer fee, so there is no indication yet that negotiations have reached an advanced stage. Bah’s long-term contract means Manchester City would not be under immediate pressure to sell, while any agreement would have to be reached before his deal expires in 2031.
