Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing 20-year-old French international Desire Doue from Paris Saint-Germain.
Desire Doue is regarded as one of the finest young attacking talents in European football right now, with several bigwigs chasing him for a long time. Manchester City are prepared to pay a club-record fee to sign the French international. They could offer €180 million to sign the PSG attacker.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, they are prepared to break the bank for the Frenchman. It will be interesting to see if PSG are prepared to sell him.
There is no doubt that the Frenchman is one of the best young talents in the world right now, and he has all the attributes to develop into a world-class player. Manchester City need more quality and depth on the flanks, and signing the 20-year-old could be ideal. Doue has already established himself as an important player for PSG, and he is only 20. He will improve with coaching and experience.
He has all the tools to develop into a future superstar. Selling him would be a blow for PSG right now. He was instrumental in their success last season. The French outfit managed to win the league title and the UEFA Champions League last season. They need to keep their quality players at the club to compete for major trophies regularly.
Can Manchester City get Doue deal done?
PSG are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they do not need to sell key players for money. It will be difficult for Manchester City to convince them to sell the player. Meanwhile, the Premier League side need more quality in the team if they want to get back to the top of English football.
Pep Guardiola’s men failed to win the league title last season, and they are unlikely to succeed this time either. They have been quite inconsistent in the Premier League so far. Adding more quality to the side would be ideal. Having a quality wide player would add some much-needed unpredictability going forward. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
