This summer, the PSG is committed to continuing its transfer strategy, focusing on acquiring promising young French talents. Within this framework, the possibility of signing Maghnes Akliouche has recently resurfaced. The French international, a target last summer, remains firmly on PSG‘s radar, with the club now seemingly accelerating its efforts as Lee Kang-In‘s anticipated move to the Atlético de Madrid becomes increasingly likely.

AS Monaco poised to reduce Akliouche’s asking price

Indeed, PSG has vigorously reignited discussions for this transfer, and developments could now unfold rapidly, partly due to the strong relationship between the capital club and AS Monaco. Crucially, while the Monégasques were reluctant to part with Maghnes Akliouche last summer, they had set an exceptionally high valuation, demanding €70 million for his transfer. This situation has reportedly shifted considerably, with information suggesting that the ASM is now in a position where sales are necessary, making it difficult to maintain such elevated demands, especially given Akliouche‘s contract expires in 2028. The exact figure Monaco expects is not specified, but it is confirmed to be substantially lower than the €70 million sought last summer.

Akliouche awaits conclusion of World Cup

Despite indications that this transfer could be swiftly resolved between PSG and AS Monaco, Maghnes Akliouche recently expressed his preference to defer discussions about his future until after the Coupe du monde. He stated, « If the next step will be a transfer this summer? Yes but frankly, I remain genuinely focused on this Coupe du monde. I know anything can happen, even during the competition. It’s a significant platform for exposure, yet my concentration remains on the national team’s objectives. I also don’t wish to disrespect my club by discussing transfers right now. There are other matters to attend to ».
