On the eve of the quarter -final go between PSG and Aston Villa, the tension is palpable in Paris. In the corridors of the club, a name insistently comes up: that of Désiré Doué. The Parisian winger, decisive this weekend to seal the title of champion of France, is the subject of a tenacious rumor. Should we expect a surprise package? At a last -minute injury? None of this. The 19 -year -old prodigy will be there Wednesday evening. But it is on a completely different plan that PSG must manage a real stirring.
According to the Sports Bloom media, several Premier League clubs have checked the name of Goué for the next transfer window. Manchester United, in full reconstruction, would have made French a priority. Chelsea, already interested last year, has never abandoned the idea of recruiting him. Even Manchester City would keep an attentive eye on its evolution, with Pep Guardiola seduced by its versatile and impactful profile. Suffice to say that the agitation is strong behind the scenes.
Gifted in the viewfinder of the English giants.
PSG, aware of the exceptional potential of his young winger, does not intend to let him go. Arrived last summer from Rennes against around 45 million euros, Doué has established himself as one of the revelations of the season with 11 goals and 11 assists. It is considered internally as a future manager of the Parisian project. For the moment, the club does not open the door, except for offers exceeding 100 million euros.
Paris closes the door for gifted, for the moment
A few days before a crucial match in the Champions League, the multiplication of rumors is not trivial. Some see it as an attempt at destabilization, at a time when PSG seems to be in full confidence. Others believe that it is above all a warning for the club: maintaining gifted will not be simple if the English cadors take action.
In a context of post-mm transition, Désiré Doué represents much more than simple hope. It is a symbol of the new Parisian generation. And to date, despite the sirens of the Premier League, his priority remains clear: to continue growing in Paris.
