Guéla Doué is the subject of interest from Newcastle United after a convincing season at RC Strasbourg. Doué is a 23-year-old Ivorian international with 19 caps and 2 goals for his country. He joined RC Strasbourg from Stade Rennais last summer for a €6 million fee on a contract until 2029. Although he was initially considered an important part of Strasbourg's long-term project, the club's financial situation may make a sale necessary. Strasbourg faces a significant deficit estimated at nearly 80 million euros and might need to sell players to balance its accounts. An offer of approximately 30 million euros could lead the management of the Alsatian club to sell the right-back.
It is reported that Newcastle is very interested, and the club particularly values the player's capacity for both defensive and offensive contributions. It is said that Doué is receptive to a transfer to the Premier League, on the condition that he would have a major role in the project. The player has a current Transfermarkt market value of €18.00m. Chelsea and Milan have also shown interest in him. In the past, it is reported that Strasbourg has set high asking prices, demanding more than €30 million in October 2025 and rejecting offers as high as €22 million during the summer of 2025.
