Mahamadou Doumbia, a 19-year-old midfielder, is viewed as a significant talent by Antwerp FC. Experts have expressed the belief that Doumbia has the potential to surpass Antwerp's transfer record and evolve into a top player in a more competitive league. The club is hopeful that Doumbia will eventually generate substantial transfer revenue to enhance their financial standing. As reported by Het Laatste Nieuws, Antwerp is confident that Doumbia will become the next major outgoing transfer. It is noted that European (sub)top clubs are closely monitoring him. The prevailing question is not whether, but when he will make a move to a top league.

Sevilla FC is interested in signing Mahamadou Doumbia from Antwerp. Doumbia has played 35 matches for Antwerp this season, scoring six times. Antwerp is seeking a transfer fee between 10 and 15 million euros for the player.

Mahamadou Doumbia has garnered interest from other clubs. Antwerp might be willing to sell him if a compelling offer comes in January.

Mahamadou Doumbia is expected to be the next big outgoing transfer from Antwerp, potentially fetching a price in the range of previous notable sales such as Keita or Vermeeren. Doumbia joined Antwerp from the JMG Academy in September 2023 and has become a key player under Jonas De Roeck.
