According to a report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich has lost the race for Rennes attacker Désiré Doué.
In a two-horse race for the French Olympian, Paris Saint-Germain was able to beat the Bavarians to the finish line and lock down the 19-year-old forward:
BREAKING: Désiré Doué has decided to join Paris Saint-Germain!
After being 100% focused on Olympics, he has made his decision: it’s PSG.
Nasser Al Khelaifi, Luis Campos, Luis Enrique all involved for PSG.
Final details to be clarified soon then… here we go! pic.twitter.com/jM3BJLte3N

It is unclear what might be next for Bayern Munich if PSG has, indeed, agreed to a deal with Rennes and Doué. In reality, there is no pressing need to add another attacker, given the organizational depth at the wing and attacking midfield positions.
The club could still look to sell Kingsley Coman and is still negotiating with Leroy Sané on a contract extension, but it would not be shocking to see Bayern Munich stand pat and just roll with the group they have at this point.
