Issa Doumbia is an Italian centre midfielder, born on 16 October 2003 (age 22), currently with Sporting CP. He was linked with a move to Celtic in May 2026, a straightforward transfer rumour rather than anything more concrete.
His strongest league campaign so far came at Venezia in 2025-26, when he scored eight goals in 37 appearances. That is the obvious marker in his senior career to date: a productive season in midfield, and enough to make him a more visible name beyond Italy.
At Sporting CP in 2026-27, Doumbia has made three Liga Portugal appearances, with four appearances in total across all competitions. His market value is around £7m, according to Transfermarkt.
Doumbia remains a developing midfielder with one notably productive season behind him and a current spell at Sporting CP still taking shape. The Celtic link adds some interest, but his career is still being built in fairly plain stages.
