Cannot format a SSD

[Tex-Twil]

Hi,
I have an external USB-C SSD disk that I formatted wanted to use as a bootable Ubuntu. It was formatted to MacOS Extended FS before and was working fine. I used disk utility to format it to FAT but now the disk cannot be mounted nor formatted anymore.

If I choose the "Erase" it in the Disk Utility, and choose "MacOS Extended", it makes Disk Utility to crash.

If i chose NTFS or FAT again, it formatting fails with an error "Couldn’t modify partition map"

diskutil info gives me this output:

diskutil info /dev/disk2

Any idea how to fix this?
