PSG has positioned itself at the front of the queue for AS Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche, with the French giants making the 24-year-old winger their top attacking target for the summer window. Two Premier League clubs are also in the mix, but the Parisian club appears to hold the advantage in what’s shaping up to be one of the most closely watched transfers of the window.
Monaco expects formal bids to arrive soon. And given what Akliouche himself has said publicly, those bids will likely find a willing participant on the other side of the negotiation table.
The player has already telegraphed his exit
In June, Akliouche confirmed he anticipates leaving Monaco after France’s World Cup campaign wraps up. He was diplomatic about it, framing the tournament as his immediate priority, but the subtext was unmistakable. He’s ready to move on.
Born on February 25, 2002, Akliouche has been with Monaco since 2022 and still has two years remaining on a contract that runs through June 2028. That contractual runway gives Monaco meaningful leverage in negotiations, which is exactly why their asking price sits well above his listed market value.
