Issa Doumbia: Roma linked with move for Venezia midfielder

Roma are reported to be monitoring Venezia central midfielder Issa Doumbia as the Serie B club face the prospect of losing one of their key assets.

The 22-year-old, valued at €8.00m on Transfermarkt, is being linked with a switch from Venezia to the Serie A side, with the latest speculation dated 14 April 2026. The probability of the move remains unclear, with the report listing the likelihood of a transfer as “?”. With no contract expiry date publicly available, Doumbia’s situation has prompted talk that he could yet run down his deal and become a free agent if no extension is agreed.

Born on 16 October 2003 in Treviglio, the 1.87m midfielder has emerged as a prominent figure for Venezia, wearing the number 8 shirt and operating predominantly in central midfield. A right-footed player, Doumbia brings a blend of physical presence and technical ability that has attracted attention higher up the Italian pyramid.

The Italy and Côte d’Ivoire dual national currently plays in Serie B with Venezia, and his progress in the second tier has underpinned his market valuation. Listed at €8.00m, any formal approach from Roma would likely need to reflect that figure, unless his contractual position weakens Venezia’s negotiating power.

Recent club data places Doumbia with Venezia as of mid-April 2026, but there is no verified record in the provided information of his previous clubs, specific league campaigns or detailed performance statistics, including individual match scores or displays, so his recent match-by-match output cannot be confirmed from the available data.

With Roma continuing to refresh their midfield options and Venezia potentially braced for interest, Doumbia’s next move – whether via a transfer fee or eventually as a free agent – could prove decisive in shaping his development and determining whether he can establish himself at the top end of Serie A.
