Maghnes Akliouche, the 24-year-old attacking midfielder/winger for AS Monaco (under contract until 2028) and the French national team, was linked to Paris Saint-Germain right from the start of the 2026 summer transfer window. However, reaching an agreement with ASM proved difficult. It is finally wrapped up, according to several journalists and media outlets, with a price that appears to be firmly set.
Onze Mondial:
PSG has secured its third summer signing. After months of negotiations, the Parisian club has reached an agreement with Monaco for the transfer of Maghnes Akliouche. The French international is set to sign a five-year contract in the capital. The two-time European champions and ASM reached a full agreement on Thursday evening for a €50 million transfer, following five offers submitted since late June. The two clubs must now finalize the transfer paperwork.
Abdellah Boulma:
It’s a done deal! Maghnes Akliouche is set to wear the PSG colors. Full agreement reached on a deal valued at a fixed €50m.
Djamel:
As announced in late June, Maghnes Akliouche was tipped to be the first attacking signing.
It’s now official: agreement reached with AS Monaco! ✔️
Despite interest from English clubs like Liverpool, the French international always made PSG his priority.
Fabrice Hawkins (RMC Sport):
Maghnes Akliouche is coming to Paris. Full agreement reached between PSG and Monaco this morning for a €50m transfer. 5-year contract, as revealed on RMCsport.
Now, after weeks of waiting, it seems Akliouche’s move to PSG is truly imminent. This has been the prevailing trend over the last few days and appears to be the most likely outcome this summer. Akliouche was already poised to leave last summer, and the additional season at Monaco seemed hard for him to swallow—despite a few standout performances, notably against PSG and generally in the Champions League.
It is time for a change of scenery, especially given PSG’s persistent interest. This represents an opportunity to take a step forward, both collectively and individually. It is up to Akliouche to prove he can be more consistent and that his talent can be further elevated by this squad and coach Luis Enrique. Enrique will be able to leverage Akliouche’s creativity and versatility to gain valuable tactical options. The player must now successfully adapt and handle the fierce competition for places. This move could also help him establish himself in the French national team.
