Paris Saint-Germain has opened formal contract extension talks with forward Désiré Doué, submitting an initial verbal offer to secure the 21-year-old’s long-term future at the Parc des Princes, RMC Sport reported.
Doué, currently tied to the reigning French champions until June 2029, has posted four goals and four assists across 11 appearances in all competitions this season, according to Foot Mercato. The rising French international has established himself as a central figure under manager Luis Enrique, delivering decisive performances in high-profile fixtures ranging from the European Supercamp and Le Classique against Marseille to a standout display against FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.
Contract Talks Move Forward Amid Rapid Rise
The Paris Saint-Germain hierarchy moved to open discussions with Doué’s camp to reflect his growing status within the squad. Foot Mercato noted that the club wants to align the player’s wages with his expanding responsibilities, mirroring the precedent set when João Neves received a revised deal following his debut campaign in the capital.
Negotiations are expected to take time. Sources close to the process told Foot Mercato that an immediate resolution is rare, noting that all parties must still define the specific contours of a new long-term agreement. Despite the ongoing dialogue, Doué remains contracted for several more seasons, giving the club stability while they work toward a finalized deal.
Doué Maintains Form After Injury Setbacks
Doué’s progression this season stands in sharp contrast to the physical setbacks that interrupted his previous campaign. Free from injury concerns, the former Rennes player has maintained consistent form under Luis Enrique, using his physical strength and technical versatility to operate across multiple attacking positions.

His early-season momentum followed internal club discussions regarding his exclusion from the 30-man Ballon d’Or shortlist. According to RMC Sport, figures within the capital club expressed incomprehension at the omission given his performances for both PSG and the French national team over the prior twelve months. However, the player himself chose not to dwell on the individual snub, turning his focus immediately back to pitch performance.
UEFA Nominates Doué for Goal of the Week
Doué’s recent performances have drawn continental recognition. Canal Supporters PSG 24-7 reported that his opening goal in a Champions League fixture against Manchester City—finished at the conclusion of a sweeping team move before he assisted Ousmane Dembélé—earned a nomination for UEFA’s Goal of the Week.
Analyzing his physical profile, Sky Sport Switzerland noted that the 1.81-meter, 79-kilogram forward represents a modern tactical prototype, combining strong musculature with explosive dribbling ability. That blend of attributes has not only driven PSG’s attacking play this autumn but also attracted commercial interest, highlighted by a recent partnership with Nike reported by RMC Sport.
As discussions regarding his revised terms continue behind the scenes, Doué and Paris Saint-Germain prepare for their upcoming domestic and European fixtures.
