Issa Doumbia remains focused on preparing for the new season, even during the holiday period. Sporting’s recent signing Sporting used social media to share a short video of himself doing specific training, showing that he is already working towards integrating into the squad coached by Rui Borges.
In the images shared by the 22-year-old Italian midfielder, several physical and technical exercises can be seen, aimed at keeping his fitness at a high level before the start of pre-season. The post was well received by Sporting fans, who are eagerly awaiting the player’s debut in green and white.
It should be remembered that Sporting officially announced Doumbia’s signing at the beginning of June. The midfielder left Venezia to sign a contract valid until 2031, with an €80 million release clause.
Sporting’s SAD made a significant investment to secure the services of the young Italian international. The deal was agreed for €20 million, and could rise to €26 million depending on previously agreed objectives between the two clubs.
With the new season on the horizon, Doumbia is already showing total commitment to Sporting’s project. The midfielder is one of the new green-and-white faces, along with Rodrigo Zalazar, Pedro Lima and Silas Andersen, and intends to arrive at pre-season training in the best possible shape to convince Rui Borges.
