The media often highlights Seydou Doumbia, the formidable Ivorian striker for CSKA Moscow, but his brother, Ousmane Doumbia, is also making a name for himself in football. Last summer, Ousmane joined Servette in Geneva for a 15-day trial and quickly impressed the club’s staff, leading to a loan offer with an option to purchase, a decision that Servette undoubtedly does not regret.
In just a few months, the 21-year-old Ousmane Doumbia has become one of the standout players in the Swiss second division, showcasing his abilities as a versatile and adept midfielder. His performances have attracted interest from several Swiss and French clubs, with Stade Rennais reportedly showing significant interest in the Ivorian relay midfielder. Ousmane Doumbia expressed his happiness about signing with Servette and his desire to seize the opportunity, emphasizing his dream of playing in Ligue 1.
“I am very happy to have signed in Switzerland. Servette gave me my chance, and I’m trying to seize it as best I can. Obviously, I don’t plan to stop there. Since I was little, I have dreamed of playing in Ligue 1, it is a championship that I particularly appreciate. I hope that my performances will allow me to get noticed, and if that is already the case, so much the better. Whatever happens, I let my agent, Jean Bernard Beytrison, take care of all that,” said the aspiring young player.
