Desire Doue opts for Paris Saint-Germain over Bayern Munich

Over the past few months, Der Rekormdeister's pursuit of the Frenchman has been well documented.

Despite PSG's attempts to outbid the record champions, it had always appeared as though Bayern would eventually secure Doue's signature, especially after completing the sales of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to Manchester United.

Nevertheless, while Bayern prioritised the signing of Doue, the 19-year-old has decided to overlook Der Rekordmeister in favour of a move to the French capital.

Having stated he would make his final decision after the Olympic Games, Doue has chosen to sign for PSG, and Bayern have been informed of his decision.

As of yet, there is no final agreement in place between Rennes and the French champions, but with Doue making it clear where he plans on playing his football next season, it is highly likely a deal will be completed.

This makes Doue the second high-profile player to have rejected a move to Bavaria this summer after Xavi Simons elected to re-sign for RB Leipzig on a season-long loan.
