Désiré Doué will meet this Monday evening in Turin to receive his 2025 Golden Boy trophy. A prize awarded by the Italian sports daily Tuttosport which rewards the best player in the world under the age of 21. The Paris Saint-Germain striker will be accompanied by the Parisian delegation, which includes Luis Campos, the club’s sports advisor, crowned best Football Executive of the year.
For his part, Parisian President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi will miss the event. But he has already been honored with the prize for best president, received last Tuesday, the day before PSG’s victory against Tottenham (5-3) in the Champions League.
Gifted aims higher
In the columns of the Turin newspaper, Doué wanted to thank his teammates, convinced of the decisive role of the collective in his personal success. “I am very happy to receive this award. It’s thanks to my teammates that I’m here. If we hadn’t won, if we hadn’t played the way we did, I would never have been distinguished. The final against Inter will remain one of the happiest days of my life”said the former Rennais.
The neo-Tricolore does not lack ambition and says he is proud to follow in the footsteps of the greatest players. “My goals? Always aim for the biggest, like this year. Being cited alongside Messi, Agüero, Haaland or Mbappé is an immense source of pride, but above all a source of motivation”concluded Doué.
As a reminder, the versatile 20-year-old right winger is still unavailable due to a right thigh injury that occurred at the end of October. According to information from The Teamthe player no longer feels pain. A wind of optimism is blowing even within the capital, where we hope for a return of Doué before January 2026.
