Maghnes Akliouche, AS Monaco’s 23-year-old attacking midfielder/winger, has been linked by the media with Paris Saint-Germain for the 2024 summer transfer window, but he has extended his contract (from 2026 to 2028). PSG is reportedly still interested in the future, while ASM has opened the door this time. PSG Inside Actus reported on Tuesday that the price, initially set at €70 million, could drop due to the player’s wishes.
“Keen to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Maghnes Akliouche has reportedly made it clear that he wants to leave AS Monaco. Faced with this pressure, the Principality club has agreed to reopen talks with Paris.
Initially set at €70 million, Monaco’s asking price had put PSG off, as they considered it excessive. However, a softening of Monaco’s position could bring the two sides closer together. PSG, still interested in the attacking midfielder, is closely monitoring the situation.
If Akliouche were to join, the door would close on Rodrigo Mora for this season.”
Nothing is impossible here, nor is anything certain, unfortunately. Rumors continue to circulate, and it is difficult to see clearly. This is not illogical, as the transfer market is anything but simple. There are many factors to consider, and no one wants to give anything away for free. A transfer of Akliouche to PSG, with his talent, versatility, and the hope of getting closer to the French national team, would make sense.
But many other outcomes remain possible. Including staying in Monaco, while Paris can focus on others. Such as Rodrigo Mora (18, FC Porto and Portugal). We will have to wait a little longer for certainty. There is still time in the transfer window (closing on September 1), and a lot can still happen.
