Official! Issa Doumbia joins Sporting; deal details | OneFootball

It’s official. Sporting announced this Monday the signing of Issa Doumbia, a 22-year-old Italian midfielder who leaves Venezia to strengthen Rui Borges’ squad. The player signed a long-term deal with the Lions, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2031.

As part of the agreement between the parties, the green-and-white club set a release clause of €80 million, showing the confidence placed in the young Italian international’s potential for the coming seasons.

The transfer represents a significant investment by Sporting’s SAD. The deal was completed for a guaranteed €20 million, with a further €6 million possible if previously defined objectives agreed between the two clubs are met.

With the arrival of the new signing, Rui Borges now has another option for midfield, following the recent arrivals of Rodrigo Zalazar and Pedro Lima. The footballer is another bet to strengthen the team’s central area for the new season.

This season, playing for Venezia, Issa Doumbia – valued at €8 million – made 38 appearances. In total, across the 3,189 minutes he spent on the pitch, the midfielder scored 10 goals and provided five assists.
