Announcement in Paris: Real Madrid Wants to Replace Rodrygo with Désiré Doué

A very active transfer window is expected at Valdebebas, where Real Madrid is planning several moves ahead of next season. One of the key names could be Rodrygo, who might leave the club this summer. The club is reportedly open to listening to offers. In light of this, Désiré Doué has emerged as the ideal replacement for the Brazilian forward.
This is according to several media outlets. In fact, Foot Mercato reports that various English sources have recently confirmed Real Madrid’s genuine interest in Désiré Doué. The young talent has been one of the biggest revelations in European football this season. At just 19 years old, Doué is already an emerging star at PSG, proving he has a very bright future ahead.
Because of this, and with Rodrygo’s potential exit looming, Madrid is not ruling out making a strong push to sign Doué. However, French media insists that PSG will not entertain any offer for the French gem. Club president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has no intention of letting Doué leave—especially not this summer. So, despite Real Madrid’s financial power, signing Doué from PSG looks quite difficult.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens in the coming months, but Désiré Doué has become one of the most sought-after players ahead of the upcoming transfer window. The Frenchman is under contract with PSG until June 30, 2029, and his current market value, according to Transfermarkt, stands at €60 million. However, his exceptional performances are rapidly boosting that value.
With 13 goals and 12 assists, Doué has had a phenomenal season with PSG. His incredible talent and potential have caught the attention of Real Madrid, who are closely monitoring his development. He is widely considered one of the most promising young players in Europe—and Valdebebas knows it. Still, a summer transfer to Madrid appears highly unlikely at this stage.

A Transfer Option?
Désiré Doué is expected to be one of the hottest names in upcoming transfer markets. Real Madrid, which is looking to strengthen the squad this summer, has reportedly identified the French talent as a potential replacement for Rodrygo. However, with a contract running through 2029, it will be tough to persuade a PSG side that already has a strained relationship with Madrid following the Mbappé saga.
As reported by le10sport, “The team led by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has no intention of parting with their number 14, who arrived in Paris last summer. He is not expected to leave during the upcoming summer transfer window. Therefore, Real Madrid may have to look elsewhere to fill the potential void left by Rodrygo.”
We’ll see what the future holds.
