Injured a calf during the French team's victory against Ukraine on September 5 as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Désiré Doué has not played again since. His return to the field is expected after the international break this October.
In the meantime, the former Rennais is the subject of a rumor – to be taken with a grain of salt – on the other side of the Pyrenees. Author of a breathtaking last season with Paris Saint-Germain, marked in particular by his double in the Champions League final, Désiré Doué would have caught the eye of Real Madrid.
According to the Spanish media E-Noticesthe Merengue dream of associating the 20-year-old Parisian with Kylian Mbappé from next season. To do this, the decision-makers at the White House would be ready to pull out all the stops during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Gifted, an offer of €150 million in sight?
Although on bad terms with Paris Saint-Germain, the Merengue were preparing a staggering offer of 150 million euros to try to make the capital club bend. It must be said that the French international (4 caps), recruited for 50 million euros by the European champions in the summer of 2024, would appeal to both Xabi Alonso and Florentino Perez.
It now remains to know the position of the principal concerned. Happy in Paris, Désiré Doué is still under contract until 2029. For their part, the Parisian managers and Luis Enrique are total fans of the player and have no intention of parting with him in the medium term. The matter therefore promises to be complicated for the Madrilenians.
