Eddy Doué is, in fact, a player for Estrela da Amadora and his official debut may happen as soon as next Sunday, against Benfica. The French defensive midfielder, only 20 years old, trained this week under João Nuno's orders, is duly registered in the League, and is available to be part of the coach's options for the trip to Luz.

Although he has not yet been officially announced by the Reboleira club, Doué is already wearing the tricolor and will wear the number 39 jersey. His quick integration into the main squad confirms Estrela's immediate bet on a young player with elite training, after several seasons at Paris Saint-Germain, where he played for the European champion's under-21 team.

The agreement with PSG was reached in recent days and allowed the midfielder to leave at no cost, as he was at the end of his contract. The Parisians, nevertheless, secured a percentage of a future sale, a clear sign that they believe in the player's potential for development.

It should be noted that Eddy Doué's name started being linked to Estrela da Amadora in recent weeks, with the French press reporting the tricolors' interest. A cousin of Désiré Doué, the Golden Boy winner in 2025 and one of PSG's major figures, the defensive midfielder draws attention for his physical profile and game reading ability.

It is worth remembering that Benfica - is considering moving forward with a signing - will return to the field next Sunday, January 25th, at 6:00 PM, at Estádio da Luz, where they will face Estrela da Amadora. The match will count for the 19th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, and the referee is already known.
