Liverpool have made a surprise move for French wonderkid Désiré Doué, submitting an official bid to Paris Saint-Germain in a deal that could become one of the most sensational transfers of the summer.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League champions have approached PSG with a formal proposal for the 19-year-old sensation, who recently scored twice in the Champions League final against Inter Milan — a performance that made history.
🗣️ “Liverpool have submitted a first official bid for Désiré Doué to Paris Saint-Germain,” Romano wrote on X. “The Reds are pushing hard as they see him as a generational talent. The price being discussed could exceed €95 million including bonuses.”
Doué, a self-confessed Neymar fan just like Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, lit up the Allianz Arena with two clinical finishes, becoming:
-
The youngest player to score twice in a Champions League final
-
The youngest ever goalscorer and assist provider in a final
-
The first teenager to be directly involved in three goals in the competition’s decisive match
His performance not only helped PSG lift their long-awaited Champions League trophy, but also catapulted him into the spotlight as Europe’s most coveted young attacker.
Despite already boasting attacking options like Cody Gakpo, Luis Díaz, and the incoming Florian Wirtz, Liverpool boss Arne Slot is believed to be a huge admirer of Doué’s flair, vision, and composure in front of goal.
While PSG initially appeared reluctant to sell, sources now indicate that an offer close to €100 million could be considered — especially if Doué requests a move to the Premier League.
With Fabrizio Romano confirming Liverpool’s firm interest, the race for Doué is officially on. If the deal materializes, the French prodigy could become the club’s second-most expensive signing ever, just behind Darwin Núñez.
🗣️ “He’s not just a highlight-reel player,” said a Liverpool scout. “He has the mentality of a future Ballon d’Or winner.”
The message from Liverpool is clear: they want the best young talent in the world — and they’re willing to pay for it.
