Paris Saint-Germain have made an offer for reported Spurs target, Desire Doue, and it’s a pretty substantial bid according to Florian Plettenberg.
PSG outbid Bayern Munich for Desire Doue
While Bayern Munich made the first move for the Frenchman last week, and got rejected, it remains to be seen whether PSG’s offer will be accepted, but it is much higher than the German side’s first bid.
According to Sky Sports Germany journalist, Florian Plettenberg, the offer submitted for Doue today was worth an initial €40m plus a further €10m in add-ons. That equates to £33.6m up front, and another £8.4m in additional payments, coming to a total of £42m.
HITC reported earlier this week that a ‘bidding war’ had begun for Doue, and it seems that is very much the case, and PSG have outbid Bayern by quite some distance.
That report claimed the Bundesliga giants had bid just £29m for the 19-year-old, with Rennes knocking this back as they valued Doue closer to £42m. That price tag has now been matched by PSG.
It was also said that a number of Premier League clubs, including Spurs, were involved in discussions for Doue and that the player himself was open to the idea of a move to England.

Will Spurs move for Desire Doue?
Upon hearing of Bayern’s failed attempt to sign the versatile French star, it was suggested Spurs would kick into action and make their move soon (The Sun).
Apparently, Tottenham face competition from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea, as well as the clubs in Europe (L’Equipe).
However, Fabrizio Romano reported in the last 24 hours that Spurs have ‘gone cold’ in the race for Doue, so it remains to be seen whether they rekindle their interest (The Debrief podcast on The Daily Briefing).
Spurs Web Opinion
The fact that PSG have matched the price tag Rennes set for Doue, plus the benefit of him being able to stay in France, just says to me that the deal is basically all but done.
I cannot see any other club being able to offer a more suitable package for him.
