Doku, the Moroccan forward who has been linked with a move to several top European clubs this summer, has signed a new contract with French side Rennes.
The 21-year-old's current deal expires in June 2024 and he had been linked with moves to Premier League sides Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea among others.
However, Doku has now confirmed that he will stay at Rennes for another two years, keeping him at the club until 2026.
This news comes after the club added a €70 million release clause to his contract, which is likely to make him one of the most expensive players in Europe if he does leave.
Despite the addition of the release clause, Rennes have remained confident that Doku will continue to perform at the highest level despite the increased pressure on him.
The club has also announced that they will be investing heavily in their youth academy in order to continue developing young talent like Doku.
Overall, Doku's decision to sign a new contract and add the €70 million release clause shows that he sees himself as an important part of the Rennes team going forward. The club's investment in youth development is also a positive sign for the future of football in France.
