Sporting to table €15m bid for Morita replacement | OneFootball

Sporting are willing to meet the €15 million demanded by Venezia to secure the signing of Issa Doumbia, a 22-year-old midfielder who has emerged as one of the main targets to strengthen the midfield next season.

The Italy under-21 international has been one of the standout players in Serie B, playing a decisive role in the club’s campaign as they fight for promotion to Serie A, which has attracted the attention of several clubs, including sides from Italy’s top flight.

In Alvalade, the Sporting hierarchy are already working on the ground to get ahead, seeing Doumbia as a solution with the potential to play a leading role in the team’s future.

With that in mind, Sporting have already prepared a long-term contract for the player, running until 2031, with a high release clause, according to newspaper 'A Bola', in a clear commitment to a player who has internal backing and could become a key piece in the new-look midfield.

This season, playing for Venezia, Issa Doumbia – valued at €8 million – has made 35 appearances. In total, across the 2,919 minutes he has been on the pitch, the midfielder has scored eight goals and provided four assists.
