If the deal with Dutch star Xavi Simons falls through, FC Bayern are likely to have an alternative plan in Deisre Doue. According to the French newspaper "Le Parisien", the Munich club have put the 19-year-old attacking pro on their wish list. 

Doue has played for Stade Rennes since his youth, where he is predominantly a winger, but can also be deployed as a ten or eight - a valuable asset in Bayern's injury-prone squad.

In addition to Munich, Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested in the young Frenchman. It is quite possible that the U23 team player will be the subject of one or two negotiations in the summer.
