Rumored Bayern Munich transfer target Désiré Doué is getting special attention from Paris Saint-Germain boss Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
The Stade Rennais FC winger has been on Bayern Munich’s radar for weeks, but nothing concrete has emerged as of yet between the two parties. Now, though, PSG could be angling to take the lead in the race to sign the coveted 19-year-old attacker:
Nasser Al-Khelaifi is personally involved in his club’s attempts to bring Désiré Doué to Paris. Although Bayern are reportedly keen, PSG are confident of signing the player – but there’s currently no agreement between the clubs.
According to L’Equipe’s Loïc Tanzi, Bayern Munich has submitted its second bid for Doué:
Bayern Munich have sent a new offer to Rennes for Désiré Doué. The Bavarian club are offering more than 40 million euros for the French midfielder, after an initial offer of 35 million was rejected by Stade Rennais.
However, Foot Mercato’s Santi Aouna says Bayern Munich’s bid is really worth up to €55 million:
Bayern’s offer is 55M € including bonus
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano gave this breakdown of the proposal:
More on Désiré Doué story. Bayern second bid received by Rennes today is worth over €50m with add-ons.
Paris Saint-Germain will bid again as expected, working also on player side with clear project presented.
Doué will decide his favorite option in the next days.
Part of the reason that Bayern Munich has not been more active in this pursuit is that the club is currently overloaded with attackers, specifically players who are considered to be wingers. Until some players are sold, an acquisition of Doué is unlikely.
