Désiré Doué made his debut for Paris Saint-Germain in the 6-0 win over Montpellier Hérault SC on Friday night at the Parc des Princes. Moreover, the teenager noted that he has no regrets about his decision to come to PSG.
This summer, Doué attracted interest from several clubs, such as Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Tottenham Hotspur. Despite the interest from abroad, the player opted to remain in Ligue 1 and join PSG to be part of their youth movement.
Doué spoke to the media after the match and was asked about his decision to come to the French capital rather than to head another top club keen on signing him.
“As I said, Paris Saint-Germain is one of the best clubs in the world,” Doué said postgame. “It’s the club of the capital and today I’m not going back on my decision nor do I have any regrets. I’m just very happy to be here at PSG and to be able to wear the colors of PSG. They all welcomed me here very well.”
PSG have another young talent from France on their hands to grow with a team whose average age is 23.7. Doué had an impressive 2023-24 season, playing in 43 games across all competitions and tallying four goals and six assists for Rennes.
Additionally, the teenager won a silver medal during the Olympics as the French national team lost in the final to Spain.
