Ruud Gullit Backs PSG’s Desire Doue to Rival Yamal for Future Ballon d’Or

Former AC Milan and Chelsea icon Ruud Gullit has tipped PSG’s rising star Desire Doue as a future Ballon d’Or contender, putting him in the same conversation as Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.

In a chat with NEKO Deportes, the Dutch legend said Doue has what it takes to rival Yamal for football’s top individual honor in the years ahead. Gullit’s comments come after watching both youngsters make major impacts for their clubs this season.

Despite PSG losing Kylian Mbappe last summer, Doue has stepped up impressively, helping the team retain their Ligue 1 crown. The 19-year-old has racked up 13 goals and 12 assists in 47 appearances so far, becoming a key figure in the French side’s attack.

With PSG already holding a slim lead over Arsenal after a 1-0 win in the Champions League semi-final first leg, another strong performance from Doue could raise his profile even higher—especially if they go on to lift the trophy.

Asked who besides Yamal could dominate the Ballon d’Or race over the next decade, Gullit replied, “That’s a tough one… but I really like Doue. He’s young, talented—it could be him.”

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford could be heading to Barcelona, with reports suggesting he is ready to play a central attacking role under new manager Hansi Flick. Sports journalist Ben Jacobs revealed that Barcelona are considering a loan move for Rashford, although their main transfer target remains Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao.

Rashford is reportedly keen on a switch to the Spanish giants this summer and is open to adapting to Flick’s plans by operating through the middle in attack. The England international appears to have no future at Old Trafford under new manager Ruben Amorim.

United, however, have placed a £40 million price tag on Rashford, which could complicate the deal. It remains uncertain whether the club will allow him to leave on loan or insist on a permanent transfer.

“Osimhen Is Not a Champion and Only Had One Good Season” — Flores says

Former Italy U-21 striker, Antonio Floro Flores, has taken a swipe at Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen, calling him an average player. Speaking with Kiss Kiss Napoli, Flores didn’t hold back, saying Osimhen should take his football career to Saudi Arabia and stop the noise.

Osimhen, who joined Napoli in 2020, helped the club win the Serie A title after a 33-year wait. However, he was loaned to Galatasaray last season, sparking mixed reactions about his future. Despite interest from top European clubs, Flores believes Osimhen has done little to earn the hype.

“Osimhen? He should go to Saudi Arabia. I’m honestly tired of hearing his name,” Flores said. “I get irritated when people talk about him like he’s some big star. He had only one good season. This is someone who turned his back on the city that made him famous. Even his own mother didn’t know him before Napoli.

“He even removed Napoli from his Instagram like he’s done something special. If I was his agent, I would’ve sent him to Saudi Arabia already. He’s not a champion, and I doubt he even realises it.”

Hakimi, who once shared the dressing room with Messi at PSG, will now face the Argentine legend as rivals when PSG take on Inter Miami this weekend.

Speaking to ItalPress, the Moroccan star admitted it would be great to see Messi again, but made it clear that friendship stays off the pitch once the game starts. “It’ll be nice to meet Messi again, we shared some great moments,” Hakimi said. “But when the match begins, there are no friends. “He’ll do everything to win, and so will we. We’ll give it our all to qualify for the next round.”
