Maghnes Akliouche, the 23-year-old attacking midfielder/winger for AS Monaco, was linked by the media with a move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024, but he extended his contract (from 2026 to 2028). PSG is reportedly still interested in signing him, while Monaco has now opened the door to a transfer. Sky Sport, through its journalist Sacha Tavoliera, reported on Wednesday that Paris is indeed renewing its pursuit, with the player and Monaco open to a move.
PSG and Akliouche want the transfer.
“Indeed, PSG has contacted the player’s representatives again to concretely revive the possibility of a transfer. This is a strong signal from the French champions, who want to make Akliouche’s entourage understand their genuine desire to reach an agreement.
As for Akliouche himself, the situation is clear. Maghnes Akliouche has reportedly already informed those close to him that PSG is his priority.” Seduced by the prospect of joining Paris and working under Luis Enrique, the player is reportedly pushing internally to finalize the move in the coming weeks.
“The club’s management is already anticipating his departure and has begun exploring various options to find a successor.”
Internally, the club’s management is already anticipating his departure and has begun exploring various options to find a successor.
Regarding the terms of a potential transfer, no specific amount has yet been revealed.
Nothing is impossible; Akliouche possesses considerable qualities and a profile that seems to fit the bill. He has great talent, versatility, and still has much to achieve in his career. It’s worth noting that he prefers the right flank, something that is somewhat lacking in the Parisian squad.
For the player, there would be the “risk” of no longer being an almost undisputed starter on big nights. But it’s also an opportunity to grow, and we’ve seen that coach Luis Enrique provides opportunities. It’s a chance to take the next step. As for Monaco, he’ll probably have to accept a departure one day.
However, nothing is set in stone. PSG may have other options, such as Akliouche and Monaco. It’s just a rumor at the moment; there’s nothing concrete. So let’s wait for confirmation.
