Mahamadou Doumbia, a 20-year-old Malian midfielder, has emerged as a key player and is attracting attention from several foreign clubs, notably Everton. Doumbia is contracted until 2027, and Antwerp is expected to demand a substantial fee for him. His current market value is pegged at 5 million euros, but this figure might not be sufficient to persuade Antwerp to part with him. Interest in Doumbia has surged as Napoli and Brighton have reportedly shown a strong interest in acquiring the promising midfielder. This heightened interest makes it increasingly difficult for Antwerp to keep Doumbia beyond the current season.
