Top European clubs are eyeing Stade Rennais’ Désiré Doué, and it looks like the teenager is set to leave the Ligue 1 team this summer. The 19-year-old impressed with 43 appearances across all competitions this past 2023-24 season, notching four goals and six assists.
As a result, the list of suitors is growing, and one of them includes Arsenal, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain. However, the Red Devils might need to rethink their approach in this transfer race.
According to a recent report from Give Me Sport, Manchester United are worried they won’t be able to attract Doué to the club, as Stade Rennais has set a high asking price for the 19-year-old.
Therefore, PSG could capitalize on this opportunity, as Get French Football reports that the Parisians are interested in Doué, considering him a key target for the club this summer.
