Issa Doumbia

Issa Doumbia of Sporting CP was born in Treviglio, Italy on 16 October 2003 (age 22).

Issa Doumbia, born on 16 October 2003 (age 22), is an Italian centre midfielder now with Sporting CP. His market value is around £7m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career to this point has been shaped mainly by AlbinoLeffe, where he made 78 league appearances across three seasons and scored four league goals. That spell gave him the bulk of his senior grounding, rather than serving as a passing footnote.

Doumbia’s best scoring return came at Venezia in 2025–26, when he made 37 league appearances and scored eight goals. That was the season that added a sharper attacking edge to a profile previously built more on regular midfield minutes.

He was linked with a move to Celtic in May 2026 while at Sporting CP. For now, his career reads as a developing midfielder whose main body of work remains AlbinoLeffe, with Venezia providing the most productive league season of his career so far.

Doumbia did not make a Liga Portugal appearance for Sporting CP after his mid-season move, so his 2025-26 output came at Venezia: 37 appearances and eight goals. For a 22-year-old centre midfielder, that return points to a player arriving with production behind him rather than one who had already become part of Sporting’s side.

The listed career covers three clubs across five seasons, with Venezia standing out as the breakout spell. His earlier senior records show one, one and two goals before the eight-goal season at Venezia, followed by a move to Sporting CP. The trajectory suggests clear progression, even if his first months in Portugal brought no first-team minutes.
