Moustapha Cisse, a refugee and orphan who moved to Italy as a refugee, was signed by Atalanta's junior academy on February 22, 2022, after scouts saw him playing for ASD Rinascita Refugees, a club for players seeking asylum, in a friendly game.

Four weeks after being promoted from Italy's eighth division to Serie A, the 18-year-old attacker made his league debut against Bologna at the Stadio Dall'Ara, replacing Luis Muriel with half an hour remaining.
