After meeting in a preparation match for the 2026 World Cup, during the France-Côte d’Ivoire on June 4 in Nantes, will the brothers Guéla and Désiré Doué have the immense pleasure of playing in the same club? For your information, only the Boateng brothers, the German international Jérôme and the Ghanaian international Kevin-Prince, have faced each other during a World Cup meeting and this, twice, in 2010 and 2014.
Guéla Doué, 23-year-old right side, is in fact in the sights of Luis Campos, as revealed by The Team last week. The defender trained at Stade Rennais (like his little attacking midfielder brother) has established himself as an excellent player since his arrival at RC Strasbourg in 2024. He is now capable of playing different roles by taking his lane or remaining right axial when his team has the ball. A good profile for Luis Enrique? As a reminder, the Asturian technician asks Achraf Hakimi to become an offensive player in the offensive phase while Warren Zaire-Emery, when he starts at right side, switches to defensive midfielder in possession.
Désiré Doué and the expected Blues
The Elephant is definitely on his way out but will perhaps not come to stay with his brother Désiré. While PSG focuses on other priority issues (Mika Godts after Maghnes Akliouche), Guéla Doué is in fact in the sights of Everton, who will not hesitate to pay the 20 or 25 million euros that Strasbourg could ask for.
Note that Désiré Doué begins his pre-season preparation in the coming days at the PSG Campus, just like the other French internationals of the Rouge et Bleu (Lucas Hernandez, rookie Lucas Digne, Warren Zaire-Emery, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé) as well as the new world champion Fabian Ruiz. Akliouche trained on Friday but is not in the friendly against Manchester United this Saturday. The double European champion gave his World Cup players three to four weeks.
