PSG Talk

This summer transfer window, Olympique Lyonnais star Rayan Cherki has attracted interest from major European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur. However, Borussia Dortmund surfaced as the winner of the race, but that might not be the case.

According to reports from L’Équipe earlier this month, Cherki was expected to sign with Dortmund. Additionally, the 20-year-old turned down PSG at the last minute, which the club didn’t take kindly to and blamed on the player’s representatives.

The French media also mentions that PSG put in an initial bid of €15 million with an extra €3 million in bonuses. However, Lyon turned down the offer, insisting on a substantial sell-on clause as part of any deal.

Despite reportedly being keen on Dortmund, journalist Patrick Berger reports that the transfer of Cherki to Dortmund is stalling. The discussions are at a standstill, and manager Nuri Sahin is not entirely convinced by the Frenchman’s arrival.

Cherki’s contract expires next year, and if he isn’t keen on renewing it, OL will need to sell the player now. If a move to Dortmund doesn’t happen, could PSG, Liverpool, or Spurs revisit this file? The youngster also made 39 appearances, scoring three goals and registering nine assists for Lyon.

Paris Saint-Germain are ready to spend close to €60 million on Stade Rennais’ Désiré Doué. The French midfielder is attracting significant interest from top European clubs, and PSG are moving quickly to secure his signature.

Recent reports indicate that Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in the young talent from Stade Rennais.

Sports Zone reports that PSG and Désiré Doué have made significant progress recently. At first, Doué was unhappy with the Parisians’ hesitation to make a move early in the transfer window.

Moreover, his agent, Moussa Sissoko, also favors a move to PSG over Bayern Munich. Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported this week that the German Giants are considering their next steps but have set clear limits, with their current offer at €55 million all-in.

Doué had an impressive 2023-24 season, playing in 43 games across all competitions and tallying four goals and six assists for Rennes. Additionally, his stock could rise further with a strong showing for France at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Stade Rennais’ Désiré Doué is likely aware of the strong interest he’s attracting from top European clubs. Moreover, the player should be deciding on his future soon ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Reports from last month indicate that Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in the young talent from Stade Rennais.

Additionally, L’Equipe reported that PSG is preparing to submit another bid for Doué, aiming to secure a deal with Rennes. This new offer will feature a revised structure, differing slightly from their initial €45 million bid, which included add-ons.

Tottenham expert John Wenham believes that the Frenchman fits the profile that the Premier League side are pursuing in terms of young players who have yet to scratch their potential.

“I think this signing would fit in with the obvious strategy at the club of signing the most exciting young talent around,” Wenham said, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News.

“The likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall have been signed, and Doué would add to that list.He is heavily linked to Munich and PSG. However, to Spurs’ credit, so was Luka Vušković, and so was Radu Drăgușin. They managed to do those deals and convince the players that they were the club to join, so why can’t they do it again?”

Doué had an impressive 2023-24 season, playing in 43 games across all competitions and tallying four goals and six assists for Rennes. Moreover, his stock could rise further with a strong showing for France.

Nico Williams from Athletic Club is one player attracting a lot of attention, especially after his performance at UEFA Euro 2024 as he helped Spain lift the trophy.

Earlier this month, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano noted that PSG could wait in the winds and plot a swoop, much like Bayern Munich did with Michael Olise. Moreover, a report last month from CaughtOffside highlighted that Williams has become a target for several top clubs.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain are among those showing interest. Due to the clubs’ keen on Williams, the Catalan side might face a financial disadvantage.

Athletic Club are unwilling to negotiate for their best player and demands full payment of the release clause, which amounts to €58 million. Additionally, they are not willing to split the payments, so any team looking to sign Williams must pay the entire amount upfront.

Barcelona does not have much liquidity at the moment, so it is looking for ways to raise the €58 million. Cadena SER reports (h/t Diario AS) that Barcelona might seek another loan to pay the forward’s release clause.

If they manage to get it, the most challenging part might be creating salary space in the squad. For that to happen, some players would need to leave, preferably those with high wages, since Nico Williams will have a high salary.

Barcelona and the player are progressing on contractual matters after Deco and the player’s agent, Félix Tainta, met on Wednesday in Zaragoza.

Stade Rennais’ Désiré Doué is on the radar of various top European clubs this summer. Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham Hotspur have all been linked to the player.

Doué had an impressive 2023-24 season, playing in 43 games across all competitions and tallying four goals and six assists for Rennes. Moreover, his stock could rise further with a strong showing for France.

However, the player reportedly wants to settle his future before focusing on winning a gold medal with the French national team at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Journalist Abdellah Boulma has reported that Doué plans to finalize his future in the coming days.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided the latest on the Doué file as his reporting reveals that Bayern Munich and PSG are battling over Doué, with both clubs pushing for the French player.

Stade Rennais’ Désiré Doué probably knows he’s in high demand from top European clubs. As a result, the player is reportedly looking to move swiftly to decide his future soon.

Recent reports from last month suggest that Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham Hotspur are all reportedly interested in the Stade Rennais youngster.

According to Foot Mercato, PSG have made an offer of €40 million plus €10 million in add-ons for Doué. However, Rennes is firm on wanting €50 million plus add-ons. The negotiations are still ongoing.

Journalist Abdellah Boulma reports that Doué intends to resolve his future before the start of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, which begins this month on the 26th. The teenager is part of the French squad attempting to win a gold medal on home soil.

With so many high-profile clubs keen on the youngster, L’ÉQUIPE reports that Rennes wants more than €60 million for the player. As a result, it makes sense as to why the Ligue 1 club have reportedly rejected Bayern Munich’s bid.

Journalist Ben Jacobs also recently reported the latest on this file and perhaps the internal pressure is working for Tottenham. According to Jacobs, Tottenham are currently leading among Premier League clubs in the Doué case.

Stade Rennais’ Désiré Doué has caught the eye of several top European clubs this summer. Despite this interest, the French club are determined to keep him unless they receive an acceptable offer.

Recently, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Tottenham Hotspur are feeling internal pressure to secure Doué, whose value could increase further if he performs well at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Romano also mentions that Spurs’ scouts are advocating strongly for Doué to strengthen their squad. Journalist Ben Jacobs reported the latest on this file and perhaps the internal pressure is working for Tottenham.

According to Jacobs, Tottenham are currently leading among Premier League clubs in the Doué case. They’ve already contacted the player’s representatives and begun talks with Stade Rennais.

Spurs aren’t the only club keen on the player as Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham are all interested in the teenager.

The 19-year-old had a standout 2023-24 season, playing in 43 games and racking up four goals and six assists in all competitions for the Ligue 1 team. It will be interesting to see if Spurs beat the competition or if their efforts fall short.

Paris Saint-Germain are never shy from plucking young talent from another team’s youth system. Over the years, the Parisians have secured promising talents such as Xavi Simons and Cher Ndour.

Could this situation repeat itself? Tottenham Hotspur youth player Mikey Moore has a contract with the Premier League club until 2026. Clubs are keen on the player who became Spurs’ youngest-ever top-flight debutant.

HITC understands that Tottenham insist that they have no concerns about losing Moore this summer. The reporting also reveals that Tottenham have denied that Manchester United and Manchester City have made offers for their highly-rated 16-year-old midfielder.

Still, there’s interest abroad as Real Madrid, PSG, and Borussia Dortmund are genuinely interested in testing his loyalty.

Although Moore and his team have been in touch with several top clubs outside of England, he and his representatives believe he would be better off staying and continuing his development under manager Ange Postecoglou.

HITC concludes that Moore is expected to be a regular part of Postecoglou’s plans next season, and there are no current intentions to loan the teenager out.
