Maghnes Akliouche, the 24-year-old attacking midfielder/winger for AS Monaco (under contract until 2028) and the French national team, has been linked to Paris Saint-Germain during the 2026 summer transfer window. However, reaching an agreement with ASM has proven difficult. Nevertheless, journalist Florian Plettenberg (Sky Sport) has confirmed that significant progress has been made.
While it is too early to say anything with absolute certainty, this serves as further confirmation. It boosts hopes that the transfer will be wrapped up soon. A note of caution, however: rumors can shift rapidly, and minor details can stall a deal. Nothing is certain until there is something concrete.
Let’s hope the situation regarding Akliouche’s transfer becomes clear (or is ruled out) soon, as PSG’s transfer activity has been slow to take shape. There is still about a month left (the window closes on September 1st), but it is always preferable to secure new signings without a long wait—especially given the disrupted pre-season caused by the World Cup and the fact that some players are still on vacation.
