| Career |
|
Stade Rennais were looking for left back to provide competition to Bensebaini, and to cover for the long-term injury to Baal, and signed Souleyman Doumbia during the winter transfer window in 2019. Developed at Paris Saint Germain, and with experience in Italy, the Ivory Coast international really launched his career in Switzerland with Grasshoppers Zürich. On 14th January 2019, this left-footer, who was renowned for this technical ability, and attacking forays as well as his pace, signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Rennes. After just 12 lacklustre appearances in a year, he was loaned to Angers with a buyout clause on 31st January 2020. Convincing in his displays with Angers before the lockdown, he made his loan move permanent for a 3 Million Euros fee on 7th July 2020.
