Issa Doumbia knows Sporting's wage offer | OneFootball

Sporting have already set the salary figures they hope will convince Issa Doumbia to move to Alvalade in the next summer transfer window. The Venezia midfielder, who is also being tracked by Benfica and Brentford, has a Sporting offer on the table worth around €100,000 per month, as part of a contract valid for five seasons.

The interest is not new and has grown even stronger amid the possibility of Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita leaving. Sporting’s board sees the player as an ideal piece to refresh the midfield and has already taken more concrete steps than the competition, maintaining direct contact with the player while Benfica remain, for now, more focused on negotiations with the Italian club, according to newspaper 'A Bola'.

The plan is to offer a deal until 2031, with a release clause set at €80 million. Sporting believe in the midfielder’s potential for growth, after he helped Venezia win promotion to the top tier of Italian football.

The possible signing also fits Sporting’s recent strategy of looking for talent in highly competitive secondary leagues, a formula that has already paid off in successful deals such as Viktor Gyokeres or Luis Suárez.

This season, playing for Venezia, Issa Doumbia – valued at €8 million – has made 36 appearances. In total, across the 3,009 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the midfielder has scored nine goals and provided four assists.
