Doué to Bayern Munich: The transfer that nearly happened but didn’t | OneFootball

The movie of the final could have been very different if a move had been made this summer. And it's that the young French talent Désiré Doué, who shone in the Europa League final with Paris Saint-Germain, was interested in signing for Bayern Munich during the summer market.

According to several media outlets, the 19-year-old midfielder saw a move to the Bavarian club with good eyes, but the signing was not finalized. What are the reasons? The pressure from PSG and the indecision of Bayern Munich.

For the Parisian club, Doué was and is a key piece for the future and was not willing to negotiate his departure, especially after his outstanding performance in European competitions. Additionally, the economic demands of PSG would have been an obstacle, as Bayern was not prepared to meet the high price being asked for the young player.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich, which was looking to strengthen its midfield after an irregular season, opted for other options in the market. Although Doué fit the profile the club was looking for, the negotiations did not advance enough, and Bayern decided to prioritize other goals.

What would it have been like if Doué were wearing Bayern Munich's jersey now?
