Venezia boss unimpressed by Sporting bid for Doumbia: too low | OneFootball

Sporting’s interest in Issa Doumbia continues to make headlines in Italy, but at Venezia a clear warning has already been issued: the midfielder will not leave for what are considered low figures. The 22-year-old has been one of the standout players in the team leading Serie B, and his market value is on the rise.

In the most recent match, against Empoli, the player once again stood out by scoring one of the goals in the 2-0 win. The performance reinforced his importance to the team and drew even more attention to his future. At the end of the match, coach Giovanni Stroppa directly addressed the figures being mentioned in connection with a possible transfer.

The coach made it clear that the bar is higher than what has been reported: "This morning I spoke to him in front of the team and said that Sporting’s €15 million for him is not enough," he stated, stressing that the player can reach another level.

The coach also took the opportunity to challenge the midfielder to improve his attacking numbers, highlighting the importance of being more effective in finishing areas: "He has to raise his value and try to score a few goals," he said about the midfielder linked with the Lions.
