Le Parisien’s Benjamin Quarez recently reported that Bayern Munich was attempting to be aggressive with its interest in Stade Rennais’ Désiré Doué. However, the €35 million bid was rejected because it didn’t meet Rennes’ demands.
Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham Hotspur are all reportedly interested in the teenager. The 19-year-old had a standout 2023-24 season, playing in 43 games and racking up four goals and six assists in all competitions for the Ligue 1 team.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided the latest on this file as he reports that PSG and Bayern Munich are both heavily pursuing Doué, with both clubs currently leading the race.
Moreover, the Parisians are expected to start serious negotiations with Rennes soon, while Bayern is considering making another attempt. Doué hasn’t made a decision yet and is weighing all his options.

With so many high-profile clubs keen on the youngster, L’ÉQUIPE reports that Rennes wants more than €60 million for the player. As a result, it makes sense as to why the Ligue 1 club have reportedly rejected Bayern Munich’s bid.
