Maghnes Akliouche, the 24-year-old AS Monaco (contracted until 2028) and France national team attacking midfielder/winger, is being touted as a major target for Paris Saint-Germain in the 2026 summer transfer window, with the door potentially ajar. In an interview published in Le Figaro, the French international was asked to comment.
Akliouche: “It can only be a great thing for me!”
“PSG’s interest? Naturally, it’s flattering when the biggest club in the world takes an interest in you. It can only be a great thing for me!
I want to have a great World Cup, focus on that childhood dream, and perform well when I get the chance,” he said, as reported by Parissg Infos.
Without explicitly opening the door to a transfer—or even fully confirming a PSG offer—Akliouche makes it quite clear that he is open to the possibility. It is a significant signal amidst the transfer market buzz, even though nothing is likely to materialize while France is competing in the World Cup.
Things could move very quickly after that, provided Paris does indeed make a concrete offer to Monaco, as has been rumored. However, nothing is guaranteed yet—let alone an agreement. Caution remains the order of the day, even if the transfer seems like a very real possibility.
