Paris Saint-Germain continues its transfer window with a clearly identified priority: strengthening the right-back position. For several weeks, the name of Guéla Doué has been persistently recurring in discussions among the Parisian club's executives. The Strasbourg defender is considered one of the most promising profiles in Ligue 1 and continues to impress the recruitment department of the French champions.
At just 23 years old, the Ivorian international took a step forward last season thanks to his athletic qualities, his pace and his ability to repeatedly make runs along his entire flank. Solid defensively, he also poses a genuine attacking threat through his forward runs and the quality of his crosses.
A profile tailor-made for Luis Enrique's project
PSG sees in him a player capable of being part of the long-term plan. With an increasingly demanding schedule between Ligue 1, the Champions League and international competitions, Luis Enrique wants more options on the flanks. Guéla Doué represents a modern profile, perfectly compatible with the Spanish coach's requirements.
Discussions between Paris and Strasbourg are continuing, although no definitive agreement has yet been reached. Racing Club de Strasbourg intends to maintain a firm stance in negotiations and is demanding a significant fee to let one of its best players leave.
A recruitment strategy geared towards the future
This lead is part of a broader strategy from PSG, which is looking to rejuvenate its squad by signing players who are already performing well in Ligue 1 but still have significant room for improvement. After several investments in young talents in recent seasons, the capital club wishes to continue this policy in order to build a competitive team over the long term.
The Guéla Doué deal could accelerate in the coming days. If the two clubs manage to bring their positions closer together, the Ivorian right-back could become one of PSG's next signings before the transfer window closes.
