Stade Rennais’ Désiré Doué is likely aware of the strong interest he’s attracting from top European clubs. Moreover, the player should be deciding on his future soon ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Reports from last month indicate that Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in the young talent from Stade Rennais.

Additionally, L’Equipe reported that PSG is preparing to submit another bid for Doué, aiming to secure a deal with Rennes. This new offer will feature a revised structure, differing slightly from their initial €45 million bid, which included add-ons.

Tottenham expert John Wenham believes that the Frenchman fits the profile that the Premier League side are pursuing in terms of young players who have yet to scratch their potential.

“I think this signing would fit in with the obvious strategy at the club of signing the most exciting young talent around,” Wenham said, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News.

“The likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall have been signed, and Doué would add to that list.He is heavily linked to Munich and PSG. However, to Spurs’ credit, so was Luka Vušković, and so was Radu Drăgușin. They managed to do those deals and convince the players that they were the club to join, so why can’t they do it again?”

Doué had an impressive 2023-24 season, playing in 43 games across all competitions and tallying four goals and six assists for Rennes. Moreover, his stock could rise further with a strong showing for France.
