Daily Schmankerl: Why Desire Doue chose PSG over Bayern Munich; Alphonso Davies looking to pull an "Mbappe" with Real Madrid; Hoffenheim transfer failure?; Liverpool done shopping for midfielders; and MORE!

"There are several reasons for Désiré Doué finally deciding to join PSG over Bayern Munich. PSG offered an important project, Luis Enrique but also Luis Campos and Nasser Al Khelaifi were involved in talks, all of them at the club were really pushing."

"Doué being French was one factor, with the talented Rennes wonderkid perhaps understandably keen to stay in Ligue 1 for at least a while longer. Luis Enrique played a key role in convincing Doué to make the move to the Parc des Princes."

"In the end, it seems like Bayern Munich might have been used as leverage. Live and learn..."

"Maybe Davies will try the same tactic as Kylian Mbappé, which means he will play out his contract and then leave for a more lucrative deal at Real Madrid next summer."
