Paris Saint-Germain continues negotiations with AS Monaco regarding Maghnes Akliouche, the Principality club’s 24-year-old attacking midfielder. According to L’Équipe, Paris has revised its offer—now valued at €45 million plus €5 million in bonuses—but no definitive agreement has yet been reached.
A new PSG offer, but no deal yet
“Luis Campos—staying true to his methodology and his determination not to overpay in a market where Paris’s financial resources are not infinite—has taken the time in recent weeks to restructure a new offer. This pause coincided with Liverpool making inquiries about the left-footer’s exit terms, though nothing concrete has materialized from that interest.”
PSG appears intent on maintaining a clear stance in this matter: pursuing Akliouche without acceding to every one of Monaco’s demands. This approach aligns with Luis Campos’s recent management style, which favors prolonged discussions over immediate bidding wars. While Liverpool’s interest bears watching, it does not yet seem concrete enough to derail the negotiations.
The fixed fee: the crux of the talks
“PSG has submitted a latest offer—revealed on our website on Wednesday—of €45 million plus €5 million. Is this enough to end the saga? Not quite yet. In recent hours, all parties involved remained confident that the deal would be finalized. Negotiations are expected to focus specifically on the fixed base amount. This latest offer could well be the one that seals the deal.”
The language used suggests a need for caution. There is optimism regarding a potential conclusion, but the split between the fixed fee and bonuses remains a key issue for Monaco. The Parisian proposal appears serious and could serve as the foundation for an agreement, though the transfer cannot yet be described as imminent or finalized. Progress is being made, but the transfer window has repeatedly shown that mutual confidence is no substitute for a signed contract.
