The 2025 summer mercato isn’t open yet, of course, but it’s already underway, so rumors about Paris Saint-Germain still arrive from time to time. This time, journalist Sacha Tavolieri (Sky Sports) talks about the future of Désiré Doué (19-year-old midfielder/attacker).

“In a statement, he said he wanted to establish himself as the French club’s new star.
“Having been made aware of Manchester City’s intentions, who were prepared to go to any lengths to convince the player’s entourage, the main interested party directly put an end to the beginnings of any discussions that may have existed, affirming his desire to establish himself as the new star of the French club.
The Qatari owners of Paris Saint-Germain, aware of the Citizens’ (unsuccessful) attempts, have said they are ready to significantly increase the wages of the Rennes-trained player, and would even like to add another year to his contract, which would tie the player’s future to… June 2030 with Paris.
“significant progress still needs to be made”.
Even if he is happy, that he wishes to stay and establish himself on Parisian soil, we are told by good sources that significant progress still needs to be made in the various negotiations to allow the wishes of the Parisian leaders to become reality… ”
Of course, we remain cautious, since it’s still just a rumor. You have to be wary, even when the news seems rather positive. In this case, it’s quite credible that Doué is keen to make a long-term name for himself at PSG and that the club wants to keep him. That would be logical after the transfer last summer.
But that doesn’t guarantee a contract extension. There’s no urgency, far from it. Even if discussions are already taking place, and in a fairly positive vein.
Until then, other clubs may be left out by the player and Paris. But a specific offer could still change the situation. We’re a long way from that. Let’s wait and see how Doué’s future unfolds. For the time being, he may have an exceptional end of season to look forward to.
