Southampton is in the process of attempting to acquire 21-year-old Italian midfielder Issa Doumbia, who has already made three appearances and scored two goals this season in Serie B and the Coppa Italia. Negotiations are currently underway between Venezia and Southampton. The English club has proposed a deal valued at 6 million euros, with additional bonuses that could increase the total to 10 million euros. Issa Doumbia, who previously played for AlbinoLeffe, is drawing interest from England as Southampton seeks to finalize the transfer before the summer window closes. His contract with Venezia is valid until 2029, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €2.4 million. Additionally, other clubs such as İstanbul Başakşehir and Espanyol have shown interest in the player.
