The Ligue de Football Professionnel (Professional Football League) organized the election of the best summer recruit for the 2024-2025 season in Ligue 1. Désiré Doué, Paris Saint-Germain’s 20-year-old midfielder/attacker, was among the finalists along with Adrien Rabiot (Olympique de Marseille’s 30-year-old midfielder), Dorde Petrovic (25-year-old goalkeeper) and Jonathan Clauss (OGC Nice’s 32-year-old right-back). He came out on top.
A fine victory for PSG and Doué, who has impressed this season with a logical adaptation phase following his arrival from Rennes. The vote is in Ligue 1, but we suspect that Champions League performances may have influenced the choice. The rise of the now French international is fascinating. We can’t wait to see what happens next.
In any case, all the evidence suggests that Paris has pulled off a very fine coup by winning out, despite Bayern Munich’s desire to recruit him. Excellent news, too, for Ligue 1, with this immense talent staying on.
