The midfielder, who has been highly regarded at Stade Rennais, found himself at the center of an intense tug-of-war between two of Europe’s football giants: PSG and Bayern Munich.

While Bayern Munich remained optimistic about securing Doue’s services, working diligently on the deal even during the Olympic Games, the player ultimately decided to continue his development at PSG.

This decision has been described as surprising and disappointing for the German club, which had received positive signals from their negotiations. According to Kerry Hau, a journalist with Sky Sport in Germany, the Bayern Munich management, including figures like Max Eberl, Christoph Freund, and Vincent Kompany, were taken aback by Doue's choice.

The final decision came as a blow to Bayern Munich, as the news was communicated to them by Stade Rennais rather than Doue himself. PSG's ability to secure the signing of such a promising young player is a significant win for the club, as they continue to bolster their squad with talented youngsters.

For Doue, this move to PSG represents a significant step in his career, providing him with the opportunity to grow alongside some of the world’s best players. As the 2024-2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on how the young Frenchman integrates into the Parisian squad and whether he can live up to the high expectations placed upon him.
