Venezia Signs Issa Doumbia, Serie C’s ‘Young Veteran’

After the important experience at Albinoleffe, the midfielder born in ’03 is ready to make the double leap in category.

This morning on the Tuttomercatoweb channels we want to focus our attention on Issa Doumbia, midfielder born in ’03, officially moved from Albinoleffe to Venezia.

Those who have known us for a long time know that, regarding this player, we have spent important words since the past years, citing him in our insights and in the articles on the site. The most recent case refers to his last performance against Novara in the championship, where he proved decisive for the victory thanks to a goal (scored after only 88 seconds) and an illuminating pass for his teammate Arrighini, good at getting (and converting) the penalty. We are talking about a profile that is still young – he will turn 21 in October – and yet boasts more than 80 appearances in professional championships, all collected with the Albinoleffe jersey. Clearly, his debut as a seventeen-year-old in the Coppa Italia (Serie C) stands out in the match won on penalties against Pro Vercelli; without forgetting his first goal among the big boys: on 20 February 2022 he scored the goal for the temporary 1-0 against Pergolettese.

A young veteran ready, therefore, for the double leap in category, with the ambition of becoming a “key element” of a Venezia that will start, naturally, with the main thought of saving itself and remaining in Serie A.
