To strengthen their attack, PSG is considering Desire Doue. However, they are not alone in this pursuit as Bayern Munich also aims to secure the services of the Rennes player. PSG hopes to finalize the deal for less than 60 million euros.

Since the summer transfer window of 2023, PSG has been keen on acquiring young French talents with high potential. This was the case a year ago with Bradley Barcola. During this summer transfer window of 2024, the club has set its sights on Desire Doue.

Having had a good season with Stade Rennais, the French youth international is attracting interest from some of the biggest European clubs. While he was on the radar of Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham, it appears that his future will be decided between PSG and Bayern Munich. Currently participating in the Olympic Games with the French team, Desire Doue has not yet decided on his future.
