What to expect from Désiré Doué at PSG after historic debut season in 2024/25
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Désiré Doué begins the 2025/26 season as one of the club’s most exciting talents, fresh from a historic debut campaign that delivered PSG’s first-ever Champions League title. Signed from Rennes in 2024 for €50 million, the 20-year-old quickly became a key figure for Luis Enrique, earning the trust of teammates and fans alike.
Champions League Heroics
Doué’s defining moment came in the Champions League final against Inter Milan, where he scored two goals and provided an assist, securing a 3–1 victory. The performance earned him the UEFA Man of the Match award and cemented his place as one of Europe’s rising stars.
Across all competitions in 2024/25, Doué recorded 12 goals and 12 assists, combining pace, close control, and vision qualities that have drawn comparisons in the French press to former PSG icon Neymar.
Contract Security and Market Value
Under contract until 2029, Doué’s market value has already soared to €90 million, according to Transfermarkt. PSG’s board has no intention of selling, despite reported interest from Premier League clubs. The midfielder is considered a cornerstone of the club’s long-term sporting project.
Bigger Responsibilities Ahead
With more experience and a season of adaptation behind him, Doué is expected to receive increased minutes and creative freedom in 2025/26. The club is counting on him in key fixtures, particularly in the Ligue 1 title race and the Club World Cup.
According to RMC Sport, preseason training has focused on helping Doué break down tighter defenses a challenge that could define his second year in Paris. If he maintains last season’s impact, analysts believe he could force his way into the French national team and solidify his place among the most promising young players in world football.
