PSG tie down Désiré Doué: Luis Enrique builds around young stars | OneFootball

The Parisian club changes its policy and prioritizes continuity

Paris Saint-Germain has moved away from the strategy of making huge signings every summer to build a project based on the talent it already has at home. Since the arrival of Luis Enrique, the Parisian side has increasingly focused on consolidating a young and competitive squad, a formula that has delivered results in Europe.

The departure of Kylian Mbappé marked a turning point. Instead of looking for a replacement through a massive signing, PSG spread the responsibility and built a more balanced team, which went on to win the Champions League.

Now, with Luis Enrique’s stay secured until 2030, the board wants to maintain that structure, and one of the next priorities is Désiré Doué.

Doué, next on the renewal list

After the transfer window closed, the sporting management led by Luis Campos focused much of its efforts on securing the future of several players.

PSG recently announced the contract renewals of Lucas Beraldo, Senny Mayulu, João Neves, Willian Pacho and Fabián Ruiz, in addition to extending Luis Enrique’s deal.

However, some of the key players from the team that conquered Europe were still pending. Ousmane Dembélé is reportedly close to extending his contract until 2030, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains in advanced talks.

The next move points directly to Doué.

PSG want to keep him until 2031

According to information from L’Équipe, PSG have already begun the process of extending Désiré Doué’s contract until 2031, two years beyond the current term of his deal, which runs until 2029.

The club’s intention is to avoid any uncertainty surrounding the future of the young French international and to recognize his growing importance within the team.

The new agreement would also include a significant salary increase, in line with the prominent role he has taken on since arriving at the Parc des Princes.

The plan is clear: to turn Doué into one of the pillars of PSG’s new generation.

A player already delivering goals and assists

At 21 years old, Doué has already become one of the most decisive players in the Parisian squad. His numbers reflect the impact he has made since arriving: 30 goals and 23 assists in a PSG shirt.

His development also explains why the club wants to secure his long-term future. After the departure of other major figures, Paris wants players like Doué, João Neves, Pacho and Mayulu to form part of the core on which the future will be built.

The board’s message is emphatic: PSG no longer want to rely solely on major signings to remain among the elite. Now they aim to develop and keep their own stars.
