Real stuns Europe with the best player in the Champions League final

After shining for PSG in the Champions League final, the 20-year-old prodigy Desire Doue has emerged as a prime transfer target that Real Madrid is tracking closely.

According to Fichajes sources, Real Madrid is showing special interest in Desire Doue — the young French star from Paris Saint-Germain. The 20-year-old winger made a huge impact after a breakout season with PSG, highlighted by an outstanding performance in the final of the 2024/25 Champions League. against Inter Milan.

Coach Xabi Alonso regards Desire Doue as the “perfect piece” in Real Madrid’s attacking plans for the upcoming period. Since transferring from Rennes to PSG for €50 million, Doue quickly proved his worth by becoming one of Europe’s most creative and effective players. In the Champions League final at Allianz Arena, he scored twice and assisted Achraf Hakimi’s opening goal, playing a crucial role in PSG’s 5-0 victory.

That performance not only helped PSG secure the European title but also etched Doue into Champions League history — becoming the first teenager to score two goals in a final. UEFA later honored him as the Man of the Match, with the award presented by former Real Madrid legend Marcelo.

Impressed by that dazzling display, Real Madrid immediately began planning to sign him. According to Fichajes, the Royal Club is ready to make a substantial financial offer and may consider including players like Brahim Diaz or Rodrygo to facilitate the deal. Coach Alonso reportedly wants to bring Doue to Bernabeu to form a potent attacking trio alongside Vinicius and Kylian Mbappe — a front line capable of troubling any defense in Europe.

Doue’s strength lies in his versatility. He can operate on either wing or play as a “false 9,” adding tactical flexibility to Alonso’s system. His speed, skill, and intelligence have led experts to compare him to a blend of Ousmane Dembele and Kvaratskhelia — two of the most dangerous attacking talents currently active.

However, acquiring Doue will not be easy. PSG considers him a key figure in their long-term strategy and has no intention of selling. Multiple sources confirm that the Parisian club will reject all offers unless Real Madrid is willing to exceed €120 million.

Nevertheless, Real Madrid continues to monitor the situation closely. The club’s management believes Doue’s rapid development makes him a worthy investment for the future, especially since his current contract with PSG runs until 2027. Should circumstances change, a transfer in 2026 remains entirely possible.
