Issa Doumbia

Recent reports from October 2026 state that Sporting CP has an €80 million release clause in Issa Doumbia's contract and has already rejected offers of €50 million for a January transfer. This follows his move from Venezia to Sporting in July 2026 for a reported fee of around €20 million, with potential add-ons taking the total to €26 million. In the months leading up to that transfer, Venezia's asking price escalated from €15 million in April 2026 to €25 million by May 2026. During that period, a €15 million offer was reportedly made by Beşiktaş in April, and various offers around €15-20 million were linked to clubs like Benfica and Sporting. Earlier, in February 2026, Venezia reportedly rejected offers of around €6 million.

Our valuation for Issa Doumbia is primarily driven by the recent report from October 2026 that Sporting CP rejected offers of €50 million for the midfielder. This sets a firm lower bound on his current value, just months after his transfer from Venezia for a fee rising to €26 million. While his contract includes an €80 million release clause, a more immediate transfer value is likely situated between the rejected bid and this ceiling, reflecting his rapid appreciation and high demand from top European clubs.
