The arrival of Désiré Doué, a young offensive milieu of nineteen years old, at Paris Saint-Germain during the last summer mercato, quickly marked the minds. His remarkable performances have not gone unnoticed, giving him the attention and praise of emblematic figures of the club, including Javier Pastore. The former Stade Rennais player quickly joined the Paris team, becoming a must-have thanks to his significant contribution to the collective game.

Désiré Doué demonstrates proven effectiveness, attested by his impressive statistics: twelve goals and twelve decisive passes in forty-three meetings. Beyond these figures, it is distinguished by an undeniable technical ease and an elimination capacity that give its game a particular dimension. His raw talent captured the attention of Javier Pastore, who spoke in an interview with the newspaper “Le Parisien*” to express his admiration.

The former Argentine international, having met Neymar in Paris Saint-Germain between 2017 and 2018, underlined the similarity of the technical gestures between the young midfielder and his own idol. He thus declared that Désiré Doué’s game “bluffed” him and admitted, despite some reluctance to make comparisons, that it was striking to see the analogy between their respective styles.
