Maghnes Akliouche, the 24-year-old AS Monaco (contracted until 2028) and France national team attacking midfielder/winger, is reportedly a key target for Paris Saint-Germain for the 2026 summer transfer window, with the door potentially left ajar. Onze Mondial now reports that PSG’s third offer has been rejected. However, this could still be viewed as a step forward.
“Akliouche is a strategic asset for AS Monaco”
According to our information, Monaco has turned down PSG’s third bid to sign Maghnes Akliouche—the value of which has not been disclosed. The Principality club is currently standing firm, holding out for a guaranteed €50 million fee to part with the French international, though both parties are gradually moving closer to Monaco’s valuation for the deal. A personal agreement between the player and PSG has already been in place for several weeks, with the French international prioritizing a move to the capital club.
Akliouche is a strategic asset for AS Monaco, which aims to maximize his transfer value while managing its wage bill—a requirement set by the DNCG.
As always, we remain cautious regarding rumors. There is nothing concrete, and therefore nothing certain. Negotiations do appear to be taking place, as numerous media outlets agree on this point, but the exact progress made remains unclear. One cannot even rule out the possibility that PSG might ultimately shift its focus to a different target.
Nevertheless, Akliouche represents a logical option for Paris, offering both versatility and undeniable talent. While the current Monaco player would need to take a step forward in terms of consistency, coach Luis Enrique has already demonstrated his ability to develop players. The squad’s high quality is also an asset, provided the competition for places is embraced. The French international surely has this in mind if he intends to sign with PSG.
We are now waiting for concrete developments regarding this transfer—estimated at around €50 million—or simply for the parties involved to turn to other options. It is worth bearing in mind, however, that Monaco is under financial pressure; this drives them to seek the best possible fee, while also requiring them to be careful not to miss out on a potential deal altogether.
