Arsenal now know how much it will cost them to sign Rennes youngster Desire Doue after the Ligue 1 club rejected Bayern Munich’s offer for his signature.
Doue is the latest star to emerge from Rennes’ production line, which has previously groomed talents like Eduardo Camavinga and Jeremy Doku.
Arsenal is one of several clubs following the teenager, who plays in midfield and has proven to be too good to remain at his current club.
Rennes considers him one of their best talents and will not allow him to leave cheaply.
However, this has not deterred interest from other clubs, as Bayern Munich attempted to sign him with a €35 million bid, which was turned down, according to L’Equipe.
The report reveals Rennes wants around €60 million before considering his departure from their team.
The French side believes a potential buyer will meet or come close to this valuation, so they are prepared to wait for a suitable offer.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Rennes has every right to demand a good fee because Doue has been one of the best teenage stars in European football in the last year.

Buy him close to €60m and later sell him for €7m.
We have talents like this but they were sold to buy same class to loss profit.
What’s wrong with arsenal?
Is he the priority now?
The one that still hurt me the most is Emiliano Martinez, because of Arteta pride he was sold and since then we have wasted over 60million pounds on two replacements (Raya and RAMSDALE) that we are not even as good as he is… Let me not even mention Alex runnarson, tavarez, lokonga, and veira…. He even gave new contract to Soares that he never used. Arteta wastes money pls
Martinez and his antics are clearly not a fit Arteta, so selling was only outcome (not keep)
at the time (not hindsight 4 years later) when we sold our back-up keeper for £20m that was good business
£27m for Raya is not wasted, a much better match for Arsenal in terms of mentality and ball at his feet
Right now arsenal needs just 5signings to beat man city to the trophy
1. CALAFIORI
2. KADIOGU
3. OSIMEHN
4. NICO/RAPHINHA
5. ANY TWO FROM ONANA/FORFANA/MERINO/GUIMEREZ
I’LL ALSO LIKE JOAO FELIX
then we can sell fringe players to raise money NELSON, VEIRA, TIERNEY, TAVAREZ, LOKONGA, NKETIAH, SMITH ROWE(OR HE GOES ON LOAN), ZICHENKO, AND PARTEY, IF PARTEY STAYS THEN WE NEED ONLY ONE MIDFIELDER, IF HE GOES WE BRING IN TWO. AND WE’LL BE SET TO DISLODGE MAN CITY
So you suggest we change the team completely aftwr just missing out on the title????
FIFA anyone?
Right now arsenal need to sign
Calafiori
Nico Williams
Doue
And keep
Partey
Nketia
Jesus
Vieria
Zinchenko
Bring in the academy boys
Ethan
Obi
When we do this we are sure to win the tremble
first I’ve heard of this guy or link to Arsenal
we have loads of midfield teenage talent already
not at all what we need, and particular not for €60m of our precious transfer budget
