Sporting step up talks for Issa Doumbia, new bid made | OneFootball

Sporting and Venezia have scheduled a new meeting for this Wednesday that could prove decisive in finalising the transfer of Issa Doumbia. According to information reported by Italian journalist Nicolò Schira, negotiations are at a very advanced stage and the expectation is that the parties will be able to reach a final agreement in the coming hours.

The SAD led by Frederico Varandas has put forward an offer that could reach €23 million through individual and collective performance-related bonuses. The figures are pleasing to Venezia, who now see the possibility of completing one of the biggest sales in the Italian club’s recent history drawing closer.

Part of that amount will also benefit UC AlbinoLeffe, the Italian midfielder’s former club. The Serie C side secured 10% of any future sale of Doumbia, and could receive up to €2.3 million if the deal goes through for the maximum projected amount.

In addition to an agreement between the clubs, Sporting have also reportedly already reached an agreement with the player himself. The Italy under-21 international is expected to sign a contract valid until June 2031, protected by an €80 million release clause, although that clause will only come fully into effect from July 2027.
