Last summer, FC Barcelona had Nico Williams on their radar as one of the top priorities to strengthen their attack. However, the difficulty in securing his signing led the sports management to consider alternatives, and one name that convinced Deco the most was Desiré Doué.

The French winger from Stade Rennes was offered to Barcelona, and after analyzing him, Deco showed great interest in the deal. He knew firsthand the talent of the young forward, as he had detailed reports on his progress in Ligue 1. Furthermore, his knowledge of French football allowed him to have reliable references about his development. Doué's profile perfectly matched what the club was looking for: a left winger, with great dribbling ability, explosive, and with a lot of potential.

Luis Enrique has turned Desiré Doué into one of PSG's stars

As reported in the newspaper Sport, Barça seriously considered the possibility of signing him, considering that his market price was lower than other options like Federico Chiesa. However, the club's financial situation prevented them from taking the final step. With limited room for maneuver, the Blaugrana entity could not enter the bidding, leaving the path clear for PSG to acquire his services for 50 million euros.

Today, Doué shines in Luis Enrique's team and is already considered one of the great promises of French football. At Barcelona, they are aware that they let a talent with the potential to make history slip away, but the lack of resources prevented his arrival at Camp Nou.
