Souleyman Doumbia, the Ivorian international defender, finds himself on the brink of a promising comeback after his release from Angers last summer. Despite being linked with several clubs, including RC Lens, Osasuna, Sevilla FC, Brighton, and prospective German suitors, the quick and dynamic defender remains unattached. However, recent developments suggest that Doumbia’s hiatus from professional football is about to conclude.
Reliable sources indicate that the former Rennes player, boasting nearly 100 appearances in Ligue 1, is on the verge of a potential move to Standard de Liège.
The Belgian club, actively seeking a left-back, had initially explored the possibility of acquiring Brazilian talent Henrique from OL.
Unfortunately, discussions faltered, primarily due to salary negotiations.
Undeterred, Standard de Liège is now poised to expedite their pursuit of Doumbia in the coming hours, aiming to secure a favorable resolution in this transfer pursuit deemed a top priority by the club.
It’s noteworthy that the Ivorian defender has also captured the attention of a Turkish team, with persistent interest from the nation eager to secure his services.
As the final details are ironed out in the impending transfer, Doumbia’s potential resurgence is generating considerable anticipation among football enthusiasts.
As the Ivorian international awaits the next chapter in his football journey, Standard de Liège emerges as a frontrunner in the race for his signature, with the promise of injecting renewed vigor into Doumbia’s professional career.
