According to a report by Stretty News, Desire Doue is the subject of interest from Manchester United. Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Liverpool are also keen on signing the Paris Saint-Germain prodigy in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Red Devils have recently scouted the French international, who will cost a nine-figure fee if the newly-crowned Ligue 1 champions agree to cash in on him.
Desire Doue has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the world since joining Paris Saint-Germain from Stade Rennais in a deal worth €50 million last summer. The young Frenchman was already a highly sought-after prodigy 12 months ago, with PSG beating several European bigwigs to his signature.
While the 19-year-old has not been an undisputed first-choice starter for Les Parisiens, he has made his mark throughout the 2024/25 season. Doue has amassed 13 goals and 12 assists in only 2,597 minutes of game time across 47 appearances in all competitions thus far. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of Premier League bigwigs like Arsenal, Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Manchester United.
Arsenal will dip into the market for a versatile attacker in the summer transfer window. The Gunners want a productive forward who can reduce the over-dependence on Bukayo Saka. So, Doue has emerged as a viable target for Arsenal. As for Aston Villa, the French wonderkid can be an alternative to Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford if the Villans fail to seal permanent deals for either player.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s interest in Desire Doue is understandable. Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota face an uncertain future heading into the summer transfer window. So, the Reds are scouring the market for a versatile attacker, with the PSG prodigy emerging as a viable target.
As for Manchester United, Doue can play as the central striker or in one of the two positions behind the centre-forward. The 19-year-old Frenchman’s versatility makes him an attractive target for Manchester United, while his productivity makes him an essential addition. The Red Devils have recently scouted the teenage sensation in Ligue 1 games against Nantes and OGC Nice.
However, convincing PSG to part ways with Doue will be a tall order, considering he can be a long-term asset for Les Parisiens. Even if Manchester United can land him, the French international will likely cost a bomb and enable PSG to nearly treble the investment of €50 million. So, it will be surprising to see him arriving at Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.
