Paris Saint‑Germain have refused a record offer of more than 100 million euros for attacking midfielder Désiré Doué, according to a recent revelation. The Premier League club that reportedly made this proposal is Chelsea, as confirmed by PSG's official X account, @PSGInside_Actu, after several months of speculation. Doué, who became one of the most sought-after players in Europe thanks to his performances in Paris, saw his future in the capital called into question by the financial ambitions of the Premier League.
Before the summer of 2026, PSG received only one concrete offer, that of Chelsea, which proposed an amount exceeding 100 million euros. This proposal, described as a “nine-figure offensive”, would have put Doué to the test, but the Parisian club chose to keep him. PSG thus confirmed that it did not want to give in to financial pressure and that it considered Doué as a pillar of its sporting project. PSG's X account clarified that the rumors regarding Arsenal, Manchester City or Bayern Munich were unfounded, emphasizing that only Chelsea had actually submitted an offer.
The move comes as several major European clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Bayern Munich, have expressed an interest in the young French international. PSG, however, refused to negotiate further with the London clubs, preferring to keep the striker who has made an impression since his arrival in 2023. Chelsea's offer, although impressive, was not enough to convince the Parisian leaders to sell Doué.
At this stage, no new proposals have been confirmed. The file remains open, however, and it is possible that Chelsea will try a new approach in future markets. PSG, meanwhile, seem determined to keep their talent in their ranks, which could influence the dynamics of the transfer market for the months to come. The next developments will be closely followed by the media and fans, who are waiting to see if Doué will continue to play in the red and white jersey or if he will ultimately be transferred to the Premier League.
