In difficulty at PSG, which he joined last summer from Stade Rennais, Désiré Doué could already leave the capital. Liverpool would be ready to give him the opportunity to discover the Premier League.
Mercato PSG: Liverpool is already positioning itself for Désiré Doué
Recruited for 50 million euros from Stade Rennais during the last summer transfer window, Désiré Doué was expected to be one of the future stars of Paris Saint-Germain. However, the attacking midfielder's debut under his new colors is far from living up to expectations. Despite undeniable talent, the French international hopeful is struggling to establish himself in Luis Enrique's starting lineup.
A lack of playing time which could push him to seek a new challenge, particularly in the Premier League, where Liverpool would monitor his situation very closely, according to the Anfield Watch media. The Reds, renowned for their ability to reveal young talents, could offer Désiré Doué the opportunity to fully express himself and take a step forward in his career.
If a transfer is not on the agenda for the winter transfer window which is fast approaching, the situation could clearly change next summer, if the playing time of the 19-year-old player does not change not. But Paris SG does not intend to give in so easily.
Paris SG is counting on Désiré Doué for the future
Since his arrival at PSG last August, Désiré Doué has struggled to confirm the hopes placed in him. Against Toulouse on Saturday evening, his missed passes and lost dribbles highlighted a certain feverishness. If his raw talent is undeniable, the native of Angers still seems to lack the consistency and efficiency to establish himself in a club as demanding as Paris Saint-Germain.
This situation questions the relevance of the choice to make him one of the pillars of the team in the medium term. However, the Parisian club believes in the potential of its young attacking midfielder and considers him a great promise for the future.
“Doué is a high-level player for the future. He needs the right mentality to help the team. It's possible that his ideal position is in the middle and not as an attacking player, but I'm trying to awaken in him the desire to understand how to play in several positions. It is true that we would like everything to go faster and for him to consolidate himself as an important player, but it is a path. It's obvious he would like to play more. But I believe that he is a player of the present, but above all of the future,” Luis Enrique declared in particular during his press conference on Friday.
Under contract until June 2029, Désiré Doué would not rule out a departure at the end of the season if his playing time does not improve. For its part, the capital club would have no desire to part with its player.
“They (PSG) invested 50 million euros on him during the summer, so expect Doué to have at least 18 more months to prove himself in Paris. Luis Enrique confirmed it on Thursday,” assures Football Transfers journalist Robin Bairner. So to be continued…
