Mahamadou Doumbia, a promising 20-year-old midfielder from Mali, has emerged as a key player and is attracting attention from several foreign clubs, including Galatasaray. Doumbia is currently under contract with Antwerp until 2027, and the club is expected to demand a substantial transfer fee for him. Despite his market value being estimated at 5 million euros, this figure might not be sufficient to persuade Antwerp to sell. Besides Galatasaray, other clubs such as Olympique Marseille, Arsenal, and Everton have expressed interest in Doumbia. Recent reports suggest that Napoli and Brighton have also joined the competition to acquire the skilled midfielder. Considering Antwerp's strategy to achieve financial self-sustainability through player sales, it appears increasingly difficult for the club to retain Doumbia beyond the current season.
