Report: Real Madrid showing keen interest in 20-year-old Champions League winner | OneFootball

According to a recent revelation from Fichajes, Real Madrid have set their sights on Paris Saint-Germain winger Desire Doue.

The young French talent has caught the attention of manager Xabi Alonso, who sees him as a perfect addition to the squad.

Notably, Doue, who signed for PSG from Rennes, made a major impact in his first season, scoring twice and assisting in the Champions League final against Inter Milan, establishing himself as one of Europe’s emerging stars.

The outlet assures that the interest from Real Madrid is serious as they are considering a significant financial effort to secure his signing, potentially using players like Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo in a strategy to fund the deal.

The Merengues view him as an ideal complement to Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe, forming an explosive attacking trio capable of creating constant threats inside and outside the box.

Versatility makes Doue a perfect fit

One of Doue’s most appealing qualities is his versatility. He can operate on either wing or even as a false nine, giving Alonso tactical flexibility.

Real Madrid see Doue as the spark capable of unlocking defences, building on the unpredictability already provided by Vinicius, and complementing Mbappe to form a deep, dynamic attack.

However, PSG are determined to hold on to their young star. Reliable sources indicate that the French club is refusing to sell at this stage, recognising Doue’s key role in their sporting project.

As such, the club’s stance presents a clear obstacle for Real Madrid, as they would need to wait or significantly increase their offer to sway PSG.

For now, Doue remains a player PSG is keen to protect, while Real Madrid continue to monitor his progress closely.

Should circumstances change, the year 2026 could see one of Europe’s most exciting young wingers potentially making a major move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
