Venezia FC's 22-year-old Italian and Ivorian midfielder, Issa Doumbia, is attracting interest from several top European clubs, including Sporting CP, Naples, AS Roma, AC Milan, and Lazio, due to his dynamic profile and ability to move forward. According to information from journalist Ekrem Konur, Benfica and Atalanta Bergame have also joined the list of interested parties. Doumbia is estimated to be worth 8 million euros and is contracted to Venezia until 2029, which strengthens his club's position in potential transfer talks. The Italy U21 international, who has 3 caps, joined Venezia in July 2024 and has scored 6 goals and provided 5 assists in 34 Serie B appearances this season. Reports from April 2026 indicated Venezia's asking price is no less than €15 million. The reports also stated the club reportedly rejected offers of around €6 million during the January window.
