With the exception of finalizing a departure, Barça considers its squad closed for the upcoming season. Deco's plan is to immediately start working on the sports planning for next summer, identifying several potential targets to strengthen the team. We saw this with the interest in Nico Williams: they're still looking for a winger who can provide imbalance and quality.
This remains a goal for next season, and all eyes are on Paris Saint-Germain's squad. Luis Enrique knows this firsthand: he could lose him because Barça's interest will be very tempting. Deco is preparing to go all in, with money available and the ability to present him as the major desired signing ahead of the elections that will take place in 2026.
Lamine Yamal's approval
In recent hours, the reputable X account @indykaila has revealed that Barça has identified Désiré Doue, from PSG, as a potential target. What the culer team wants is to pair him up in the attacking front with Lamine Yamal, both sharing a timeline and a lot of quality.
Désiré Doue would be willing to wear the FC Barcelona jersey, although all parties know this will be a complicated move. He plays for the reigning European champion and Luis Enrique holds him in high regard. With a contract until 2029, everything seems to indicate that his hypothetical departure would exceed €100 million (over $108 million USD).
In any case, Désiré Doue is highly regarded and has the approval of Barça's great star, Lamine Yamal. They would be delighted to share the attacking trio and it's a signing that could be set in motion sooner rather than later.
Bright future
Désiré Doue's name has burst onto the European soccer scene with force. At just 20 years old, the young PSG talent has become one of the top favorites to win the prestigious Golden Boy... an award that recognizes the best under-21 player on the continent. In this edition, the Frenchman will compete against Barcelona's center-back, Cubarsí, in what promises to be an exciting battle between two of the brightest prospects in today's soccer.
Désiré Doue's last season at PSG was simply spectacular. Under the pressure of a club used to fighting for everything, the French attacking midfielder replied with star numbers: 16 goals and 16 assists in 61 official matches. His ability to create danger from the second line, his vision of the game, and his boldness in one-on-one situations make him a complete player, capable of making a difference both in Ligue 1 and in European competitions.
Moreover, his potential seems to have no ceiling. With the trust of the coaching staff and the support of the Parisian fans, Désiré Doue is set to become a key piece in PSG's long-term project. Everything will depend on whether Barça goes all in for him or not.
