The pursuit of Maghnes Akliouche—the 24-year-old AS Monaco right-winger and attacking midfielder—by Paris Saint-Germain is gaining momentum. According to journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin, talks are progressing, and the terms of a potential deal are taking shape.
Maghnes Akliouche’s transfer is expected to go through for €40–45 million plus bonuses. Discussions are underway between Monaco and PSG!
Akliouche: Real progress, but no deal yet
In a transfer market where nuances matter greatly, this news offers a key insight: the situation has moved beyond mere distant interest. Reports of discussions between AS Monaco and PSG signal potential progress—especially since the cited figure of €40–45 million plus bonuses seems more realistic than some of the inflated valuations circulating in recent months.
However, caution remains essential. While Romain Collet-Gaudin is a well-followed source within the PSG ecosystem and his information warrants serious attention, this is neither an official agreement nor a confirmation from the clubs involved. In matters like this, the gap between “ongoing discussions” and a “completed transfer” can be vast. Monaco is a club willing to sell for the right price, but rarely without a tough negotiation.
For Paris Saint-Germain, Akliouche ticks several interesting boxes: he is French, a product of the Ligue 1 system, creative, and capable of playing both on the right flank and centrally. His profile aligns with the vision of a younger, technically gifted, and versatile squad. If the price holds around this level, the move could become much more concrete. For now, things are moving forward—though it is certainly too early to start printing his name on the jersey.
