Mahamadou Doumbia is on the radar of Newcastle, who see him as a long-term investment. However, obtaining a work permit for African players who haven't played international matches could be a challenge. Newcastle has not placed a bid yet.

Newcastle United is also interested in Mahamadou Doumbia but is hesitating due to work permit requirements.

Mahamadou Doumbia is on Newcastle's shortlist, with Eddie Howe as a strong admirer. Doumbia's market value is estimated at nine million, but Antwerp aims for a price of around twenty million. The 21-year-old Malian is under contract until mid-2027. Several other interested parties are also monitoring the situation, as he is considered one of Antwerp's most valuable assets. According to AfricaFoot, there is increasing movement around Doumbia's potential transfer.
