Several top European clubs have shown interest in Désiré Doué of Stade Rennais, hinting at his departure from the Ligue 1 team this summer. The 19-year-old made a strong impression with 43 appearances in the 2023-24 season, contributing four goals and six assists across all competitions.
Consequently, his list of suitors is expanding, with Arsenal, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain among those interested. However, Manchester United might need to reconsider their strategy in this transfer pursuit.
Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports that Bayern Munich are now in the race for the teenager. The information reveals that Doué could become a serious transfer target later in this transfer window if Bayern generates more sales or in 2025.
