Tuttomercatoweb confirms Southampton are still tracking Issa Doumbia. The same source warns Southampton regarding Venezia’s stance on a transfer and adds that it is unclear whether the English club would be prepared to loan Doumbia back.

TrivenetoGoal claim Issa Doumbia remains a target for Southampton this month following their first interest last summer. Southampton could see Doumbia as someone to strengthen their midfield and may need to face competition from Club Brugge in their pursuit of the player.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Southampton previously offered 6 million euro plus bonuses for Issa Doumbia. The same outlet reported that negotiations with Venezia involved a proposal of 6 million fixed with bonuses that could potentially raise the total to 10 million euro, but the deal was unsuccessful due to a lack of time. Southampton continues to monitor Doumbia.

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.
