Roma are finally able to get Seydou Doumbia off their books with reports Sporting CP will activate their option to buy.
The Ivory Coast international arrived in Portugal on loan last month with an option worth €4.5m that would become mandatory after certain conditions were met.
According to A Bola, those conditions were quite simply for him to play two games in the Liga NOS campaign.
As Doumbia came off the bench in a 1-0 win over Vitoria Setubal, Roma can say he is off their books.

It’s the end of a nightmare for the 29-year-old, who joined the Giallorossi for €15.4m from CSKA Moscow in January 2015.
He barely featured in a Roma jersey, while loans at CSKA Moscow, Newcastle United and FC Basel failed to find a permanent transfer.
