Last summer, PSG did not go crazy to recruit a star to replace Kylian Mbappé. The capital club had decided to bet on a young talent and this is how Désiré Doué joined Paris for a check for €50M. The attacking midfielder took a little time to acclimatize to his environment and now his adventure with the French champion seems well and truly underway.
Until recently, PSG wanted to build a team of stars to finally seize the Champions League. The capital club had notably associated Lionel Messi, Neymar et Kylian Mbappé to get there, but it was a bitter failure. Parisian leaders have decided to review their strategy with the appointment of Luis Enrique and the project has completely changed. From now on, the champion of France focuses more on young talents with very high potential.
PSG bet €50M on Désiré Doué
In this sense, in the summer of 2023, the PSG bet big on Bradley Barcola to strengthen its offensive sector. A year later, the capital club did it again by acquiring a new great talent of Ligue 1. After weeks of negotiations and battle with the Bayern Munichthe Parisian leaders managed to bring Désiré Doué. The latter was revealed to Stade Rennais et Luis Campos signed a check for €50M to the Breton team for its attacking midfielder.
Désiré Doué finally explodes at PSG
The change was therefore brutal for Désiré Doué who, at 19, went from Stade Rennais au PSG. The French took time to fully integrate the precepts of Luis Enrique and to perform well, but it now seems perfectly launched. In the last four matches played by the capital club, the attacking midfielder has scored two goals, provided two assists and caused a penalty. High-level performances, against big opponents, likeAS Monacol’OL or in Champions League facing Salzbourg. The Parisian adventure of Gifted therefore seems finally launched and the PSG will undoubtedly need his new crack for the rest of the season.
