Issa Doumbia

In May 2026, reports converged on a completed transfer to Sporting CP for a fee cited as €23 million including bonuses, or €20 million plus €6 million in add-ons. In the same month, Venezia's asking price was reportedly €25 million, with offers from Sporting and Benfica mentioned around €15-20 million. This followed a rejected €14 million offer from Lazio in January 2026 and multiple rejected €6 million bids from clubs like Celtic and Southampton earlier in the year. The player's Transfermarkt value was listed at €8 million in April 2026. He was transferred from AlbinoLeffe to Venezia in July 2024 for a reported €1 million.

Our valuation is driven by multiple, consistent reports from May 2026 confirming Issa Doumbia's transfer from Venezia to Sporting CP is complete or in the final stages. The reported fee structure consistently falls between a €20 million base and a total package of up to €26 million with bonuses. Widespread interest from Premier League and Serie A clubs throughout early 2026 clearly inflated the price from the €15 million asking price reported just a month prior.
